Month Long TN Farmers Protest in Delhi – Video

Why the farmers are protesting in Delhi?

Because, the Modi government refuses to set up Cauvery Management Board
Because, the Modi government signed MOU’s for hydrocarbon project in Neduvasal
Because, the Modi government refuses to set remunerative prices for farm outputs
Because, the Modi government government refuses farm loan waiver.

What about state government?

We know that the Tamil Nadu state government is totally dysfunctional. Even otherwise, the finances of state governments have been made extremely weak, the states depend on central funds to implement even road projects or to buy buses for transport corporations.

Policies of both central and state governments are predetermined and are in favour of corporates and against farmers and working people.

What should we do?

Stand in solidarity with the protesting farmers in Delhi and conduct demonstrations, rallies, meetings all over Tamil Nadu. Come out in thousands in support of farmers demands.
