About 25 trains were affected due to the Bandh, a railway official said. The governments of Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Punjab, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh have extended their support to the bandh.
New Delhi: Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait hailed the 'Bharat Bandh' held on Monday (September 37) on the anniversary of the enactment of the three contentious farm laws as successful.
He said the bandh call received full support from the farmers across the country.
“Our 'Bharat Bandh' was successful. We had the full support of farmers. We can't seal down everything as we have to facilitate the movement of people,” said Tikait.
“We are ready for talks with the government, but no talks are happening,” he added.
He specifically attacked UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath saying the government had failed to increase sugarcane value as was promised in the BJP’s election manifesto.
“He (Adityanath) had promised in the manifesto to raise the value of sugarcane to Rs 375-Rs 450, yet he increased only Rs 25. He should give an account of the losses faced. The govt has failed completely. Crops are not being sold at MSP rates,” Tikait said.
