Thirumandankudi sugarcane farmers wind up agitation
The more than a year-long relay demonstration of the Tamil Nadu Sugarcane Farmers Association (affiliated with the Tamil Nadu Farmers Association of the Communist Party of India – Marxist) at Thirumandankudi in Thanjavur district was withdrawn on Wednesday citing the ongoing Parliamentary Elections.
Disclosing this in a press release, State General Secretary, TNSFA, Ravindran has said that the decision to withdraw the agitation was taken to ‘dethrone’ the anti-farmer BJP Union Government and to support the nominees of the INDIA Block in the Parliamentary elections to ensure the formation of a Secular government at the Centre.
