સરકાર જનતાની વાત સાંભળે અને પછી કઈ નિર્ણય કરે એને સાચું સ્વરાજ કહેવાય, આપણા અહીંયા તો સરકાર મનફાવે એમ નિર્ણયો કરી લે અને એ નિર્ણયો જનતાના ફાયદા માટે તો હોય જ નહીં…

The hunger strike was held in support of farmers’ demands and against the installation of electricity transmission towers on agricultural land, a matter that has sparked concerns among farming communities in different parts of Gujarat.
AAP Raises Concerns Over Electricity Tower Installation
Addressing the media during the AAP Farmers Protest Gujarat, MLA Gopal Italia alleged that private power companies were installing electricity towers in farmers’ fields with police support.

Gopal Italia Criticizes Government Policies
During the AAP Farmers Protest Gujarat, Gopal Italia accused the state government of prioritizing corporate interests over farmers’ welfare. He claimed that recent government announcements regarding the tower issue were designed to mislead farmers rather than provide genuine solutions.
Italia argued that the government’s policies largely benefit private companies and do not adequately address the concerns raised by farmers. He also stated that the growing dissatisfaction among farming communities has forced authorities to respond to increasing public pressure.
Farmers Facing Multiple Challenges, Says AAP
The AAP Farmers Protest Gujarat also highlighted broader agricultural issues, including irrigation, electricity supply, fertilizer availability, crop support prices, and land surveys.
Party leaders claimed that farmers have been struggling with multiple challenges for years and called for comprehensive reforms to improve agricultural conditions. According to AAP, these issues have contributed to growing frustration among farmers and agricultural workers across Gujarat.
Hunger Strike Held in Support of Farmers
As part of the AAP Farmers Protest Gujarat, party leaders and farmer representatives gathered at the Satyagraha Chhavani in Gandhinagar and observed a collective fast to express solidarity with the farming community.
The protest aimed to draw attention to what AAP describes as unresolved farmer grievances and to push for policy changes that address agricultural concerns more effectively.
With farmer-related issues continuing to dominate political discussions in Gujarat, the AAP Farmers Protest Gujarat is expected to add further momentum to the debate over land rights, agricultural policies, and rural development in the state.
