NEW DELHI: Sixty-four-year-old Samadhan Bhaskar Gavit punches the air with a clenched fist as he says he feels let down by the BJP government in Maharashtra. In April, he was among the 40,000 farmers who marched to Mumbai in the ‘Long March’ — an agrarian protest against the BJP rule.“Maharashtra government promised to give us pattas for forest land. In four months, nothing moved. So we have brought our ‘andolan’ to Delhi,” he said.Implementation of the Forest Rights Act, 2006, a legislation that grants forest-dwelling communities Individual Forest Rights and community rights to ensure control over forest resources were among the many assurances the BJP government in Maharashtra had given to farmers. The peasants and workers say these were empty words. They say jobs remain scarce, rural employment guarantee for 100 days in a year a far cry, debt waivers have not been granted, remunerative prices for farm produce still not available, and PDS ration cannot be availed in full. The farmers from Maharashtra were joined by peasants and workers from across 23 states in the country.
