Sirjan Kaur22 farmer unions in Punjab come together to form political party. Read full details
22 farmer unions, of the total 32 unions in Punjab today came together to set up a political party that is expected to contest all 117 seats in the February-March Punjab Assembly election.
The leaders have termed it as Samyukt Samaj Morcha and maintain that this is a morcha/ movement and not just a political party.
The leaders asserted that the common people, from villages and cities will be part of the forum.
The SKM said it identified itself as a "platform of more than 400 different ideological organisations" and, in the light of lack of consensus amongst those organisations, it would not contest polls.
