Anna Hazare will not join the farmers’ movement: Gadkari
When asked about Anna Hazare joining farmers’ movement, Gadkari said he doesn’t think so. “We have not done anything against the farmers. It is the right of the farmers to sell their produce in the market, sell it to traders or elsewhere.”
In fact, on Monday, social activist Anna Hazare had asked the government to accept the demands of the farmers. He wrote a letter to the government asking it to approve the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission. Hazare had said that if the government does not accept these things, then he will go on a hunger strike in support of the farmers.
