Sumitra Singh, former speaker of Rajasthan Assembly, has called upon farmers to increase their participation in politics so that they can themselves represent their issues in state assemblies and Parliament effectively.
She stated this while addressing a farmers rally at the Dusshera ground here yesterday.
Singh also criticised the state government for signing MoUs worth Rs 90,000 crores with Ambani and Adani groups on solar energy projects allegedly proposed on farmers lands.
Singh asked the farmers to increase their participation in politics so that they themselves can represent their issues in state assemblies and Parliament effectively.
There should also be justified sharing of profit between producer (farmer) and trader, she added.
Earlier in the day, hundreds of farmers from across Kota, Bundi, Baran and Jhalawar districts assembled at Shahid Smarak, Antagarh amd marched to the Dusshera ground waving placards on their demands for adequate payment for crops and insurance.
