What is the government trying to hide
Akhilesh said in one of his statements that farmers are being oppressed more than the British. The current government can kill anyone. Our voice is being suppressed. He said that the kind of atrocities this government is committing on the farmers, even the British do not commit such atrocities. Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra and Deputy CM (Keshav Prasad Maurya) should resign. Two crore rupees and government jobs should be given to the families of the farmers who died. The government does not want any political leader to go there. What is the government hiding?
