Jhajjar, August 1
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Gurnam Singh Charuni today reiterated his “Mission Punjab” call and exhorted farmers to take the electoral plunge.
“Farmers can form their government in Punjab on the back of the sheer numbers. Snatching power from political parties is the need of the hour. Only political power can save the agricultural sector from devastation. Bad people will continue to remain in power if good people don’t enter politics,” Charuni told the media at the Rohad toll plaza near the Tikri border on Sunday.

Giving the example of farmers’ leader Sir Chhotu Ram and Dalit icon BR Ambedkar, he said both leaders ensured welfare of farmers and labourers because they were in power. “Forming the government is the best way to empower farmers, who will be hit hard by the three farm laws introduced last year.”
