On November 3, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh will meet with representatives of the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS). The government and BKS will discuss various issues concerning farmers. Officers from departments dealing with farmer demands will attend the meeting. The BKS submitted a seven-point charter of demands to the government on October 13.
The organisation opposes the Bhavantar scheme and wants the government to procure 100% of the produce at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). BKS is concerned about the lack of rainfall and has asked the government to pay compensation for crop losses due to insufficient rainfall, address irrigation problems, unannounced power cuts, and fertilizer shortages.
They also urged the government to declare districts with inadequate rainfall as drought-hit. The BKS has asked for a survey of crops in fields, replacement of burnt transformers with new ones, and creation of additional transformer banks. The government may declare certain districts as drought-hit following the meeting with the BKS, according to sources.
