Expressing his views on this occasion, district unit president of the party, Mahendra Singh Rana said the villagers and farmers would hit the streets, if the administration failed to take steps to check the discharge of the polluted water from industries. This discharge is polluting the river Aami water.

State secretary of the party Preet Pal Singh condemned the state government for ignoring the plight of small farmers and said RJD would launch a movement against it.

Party leader Rajaram Yadav, Hariram Nishad and KP Chaudhary said administration had become insensitive over the grievances faced by the villagers and threatened to launch a massive movement against it.
