Kisan Mukti Yatra Enters Bihar, Activists Welcome it With Open Arms | NewsClick

The Eastern leg of the Kisan Mukti Yatra entered into Bihar on Thursday after journeying through West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand. The yatra, throughout its long way, was embraced by different sections of society including peasants, agricultural workers, trade unionists, Adivasis and Dalits.

On reaching Bihar, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi, the 97-year-old leader of the Left movement in the State, welcomed the Yatra. The longtime Bihar Secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist), Vidyarthi, greeted the different peasant organisations which are fighting unitedly, and reminded that in 1936 when the All India Kisan Sabha was formed it was envisaged as a united body of struggling Peasantry.

“The land struggles and martyrdom of comrades in the course of Peasants’ movement shall always be an inspiration”, he said. “The unity built will be the harbinger of good news for the people of the country as it will uproot the Communal RSS-BJP and defeat their divisive agenda as well as resist the Neo-Liberal Economic Policies”, he added.
