Upcoming elections of 2019 are inviting more and more politicians to West UP to meet farmers. On Sunday, former chief minister Harish Rawat lashed out at BJP central and state government for not meeting the expectations of the farmers. While addressing the kisan rally at Charthawal village in Muzaffarnagar. Rawat said, BJP government is yet to fulfil its promise to hike minimum price support. Even the government is not purchasing the produce from farmers directly. Government is yet to ensure the payment of pending cane dues. Further, he ensured that farmers can choose to begin the new era of growth and fulfilment by bringing Congress back to power.<\/p>\n
