Muzaffarnagar (UP), Aug 02: Bhartiya Kisan Union
(BKU) today threatened to launch an agitation against the
Uttar Pradesh government's decision to hand over more than
twenty cooperative sugar mills on lease to private parties,
claiming it would only "add to problems" faced by sugarcane
growers.
The state government's decision to give 24 co-operative
sugar mills on lease would create more problems for cane
growers already burdened by the wrong sugarcane policy of the
Maywati government, BKU spokesman Rakesh Tikait told
reporters here.
"A Panchayat of the BKU will be held in Mathura from
August 17 to chalk out the details of the agitation," Tikait
said.
