The heat of the agitation at the Singhu border has now reached poll-bound West Bengal as eight leaders of Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) will campaign in West Bengal for three days and would also visit the âhigh-voltageâ Nandigram constituency.
Talking to the Free Press Journal, activist Yogendra Yadav said that SKM is not promoting any political party in West Bengal but is urging everyone not to vote for the BJP.
Kushal Debnath, who spent five months behind bars after being arrested by the Trinamul administration in 2017 and is out on bail, said this was not the time to remember his personal grudge against the Mamata Banerjee government.
Dipankar Bhattacharya, CPIML Liberation general secretary, pointed out: “Other ruling parties too have histories of torture but they are not fascists like the BJP.”
