Bathinda, October 14
Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni today said as part of ‘Mission Punjab’, a new political party would be floated soon in the state that would be represented by honest people.
Farmers can alter poll outcome

“We have already been holding meetings with all stakeholders to that effect,” said the BKU (Chaduni) president, who was on a daylong visit to Bathinda. Chaduni however said he would not be part of the new political party, putting an end to speculations that he would throw the hat in the ring.
“We will form a new party and exhort voters to support it wholeheartedly. This system of money and power-driven politics need an overhaul now and there is no better way to cleanse this system other than fielding the honest, competent and progressive minds who want to bring about development and change and take the political plunge themselves,” he said.
“We will also exhort people not to vote the BJP in UP Assembly elections. The government has already paved way to give reins of the agro industry and other small businesses in the hands of big corporate houses. Now, they are employing similar strategies to give control of the agriculture sector to the private sector. Everything seems to have been put on sale in the country today,” added Chaduni.
Will float political party, but won’t contest, says farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni
