Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Wednesday said he will go to Kolkata this week to urge farmers to defeat the BJP in the West Bengal Assembly elections, but claimed he is not supporting any political party.
Farmers are distressed, and election will be discussed with them, Tikait said. He said he is not going to West Bengal to seek votes.
Replying to a query if he would meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Tikait said there was no such programme.
