Babbar was here on his ‘Dadri Mukt Sangram Yatra’.

He alleged that the State Government was being held captive by capitalists. He said the Samajwadi Party Government was acquiring farmers’ land at throwaway prices. Babbar said the government would be remembered for its lawlessness and there was no one to listen to grievances of the common people.

He said if the Jan Morcha Alliance came to power, all loans of farmers and weavers would be waived. “It is the need of the hour to form a farmer-friendly government,” he said.
