The Mati Sankalp March program was organized by many organizations including Bahujan Samajwadi Manch and Samajwadi Lok Manch. Dharmendra Pradhan, member and spokesperson of Samajwadi Lok Manch told that “Farmers are agitating for their legitimate demand. Being a social platform and animal, there is a good reason to support this movement that we support their rightful demand. ”

Describing the agricultural laws as anti-Dalit Bahujan, Dharmendra Pradhan further said that “These three agricultural laws are not just against the farmers. Most of the laws of this law are going to fall on the people of Dalit and Bahujan society marginalized for centuries. After these laws, the government system of public ration distribution system will gradually be finished. We expect that the government will drop all over the corporate government may onlyWill buy grain and hardly government will store grain. When the government does not have storage, where and how will it do the distribution. In that case, Dalit-Bahujan people who today get government rations from PDS shops will have to look towards the free market for food grains. Thus, it will have maximum impact on Bahujans. For these reasons also, we are opposing the agricultural laws and supporting the peasant movement. ”
