Stepping up its offensive against the Centre over the controversial Land Acquisition ordinance issue, Congress on Friday said that it will be staging a dharna at the Jantar Mantar here on February 25 to protest against the BJP government’s “anti-farmer” move.
The announcement was made by Congress spokesman Ajoy Kumar, who said that party’s Vice-President Rahul Gandhi is expected to lead the stir.
Former Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh will address a Kisaan Mahapanchayat on Sunday in Chauroli village of District Gautambudh Nagar, he said.
He had earlier addressed a similar Mahapanchayat at Bhatta-Parsaul, Mirzapur and Gharbara.
