New Delhi: There is a twist in the Punjab elections with around 22 unions of farmers that were part of Samyukt Kisan Morcha that led the year-long protest against the three contentious farm bills coming together to float a political unit, Samyukt Samaj Morcha to contest the polls.
Balbir Singh Rajewal will lead the political front of the farmers. Three farm bodies including BKU (Dakounda) and BKU (Lakhowal) will decide shortly whether to join the party. They will be contesting from all 117 seats, farmer leaders confirmed on Saturday.
Rajewal said he was under tremendous pressure from the people of Punjab to contest the polls after the three contentious farm laws were withdrawn in a victory of the farmers. Punjab is facing a lot of problems such as drugs, unemployment and the migration of youth from the state which they want to address.
