Historic victory for the Kisans struggle.

Various Kisan’s organisations, under the banner of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, have been conducting struggles against the three pro-corporate Farm Acts, brought by the Modi government. Around 700 Kisans have lost their lives during this one year struggle. The ruling BJP and the RSS branded the Kisan leaders as anti-national and terrorist elements. The government told that, there was no question of withdrawing the Farm Acts. At Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh, the son of the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, crushed and killed four Kisans by driving his SUV on the peacefully agitating farmers. The Central Trade Unions and the working class stood solidly with the fighting Kisans and organised various forms of agitations, demanding the repealing of the three Farm Acts. Finally, the ruling BJP understood that, the Kisan’s struggles jeopardise them in the forthcoming assembly elections, which includes Uttar Pradesh. In this backdrop, the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, appeared on the TV yesterday and announced that, the government would repeal all the three Farm Acts in the forthcoming winter session of the Parliament. Undoubtedly, this is a historic victory for the Kisan’s Unions. The decision of the government to withdraw the three Farm Acts shows that the united struggles of the working masses can certainly push back the anti-worker and pro-corporate policies of the government.
