Answer» atiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) (translation: Indian FARMERS' COLLECTIVE) is an Indian farmers' representative organization affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh,[1] and a MEMBER of the Sangh Parivar.[2] It has units in all states of India, with NEARLY 20,000,000 members.[citation needed] On March 2005, the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh urged the Government of India to set up a $20-billion FUND for the development of agriculture infrastructure in the nation.[3] In 2007, the BKS showed resentment with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Gujarat. Dissatisfied with the prevailing cotton prices, it led to farmers' agitation in Saurashtra.[1] |
