Bhartiya Kisan Union members and leaders took part in the Kisan-Mazdoor Mahapanchayat organized in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra district and protested against electricity privatization. They said that the government is going to privatize electricity in the country and Agra district is facing the ill-effects of privatization. Farmers are not able to pay the bills of electric tube wells and on the other hand their land is being acquired but proper compensation is not being given for it. They announced that farmers will unite and organize a big movement in the country on all issues.
