Farmers and Unions Announce Statewide Protest Against Unfulfilled Promises
Farmers and workers in India are angry because they feel the government broke its promises.
They are planning big protests across the state.
They are especially upset about new laws that they think help big businesses more than people.
These laws include changes to electricity rules and a longer workday.
They also want the government to do things it promised, like making sure farmers earn more money and helping those who lost crops due to bad weather.
They will protest on November 26 to demand changes.
Farmers' organisations and trade unions have called for statewide protests against the Central government.
Protests are planned for November 26 against alleged unfulfilled election promises.
Key demands include withdrawing the Electricity Amendment Act 2025 and the 13-hour workday policy.
Leaders also called for the implementation of Swaminathan Committee recommendations and doubling farmers' income.
Concerns were also raised about crop losses, drought relief, and delays in tobacco procurement.
