A famous slogan,  “Dilli Chalo”,  by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose comes to my mind today. I read this slogan in my early childhood schooldays. But never  thought that In the year 2020  farmers will have to  follow the path of Netaji to fight for  their rights.  India has  always been  known as an agricultural economy.  Farmers are the  backbone of our nation. “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan“ is not only a  slogan, but it is an integral part of our nation. In  the election season “farmers’ benefits” always become the integral part of political campaigns, but once elections are  over, these become irrelevant. Recently the  Central Government passed a bizarre law for farmers with the avowed object to benefit them, but  unfortunately the enacted law is  for their detriment.  Farmers are against this law. They want its rollback. So in the current days “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” slogan has become  meaningless. The farmers have no choice except to follow the words of Neta Subhas Chandra Bose.  “Dilli Chalo”  (March to Delhi.)
