PROTESTERS FROM RURAL AREAS DESCEND ON NEW DELHI

NEW DELHI, India - Courted by opposition parties, thousands of farmers from several states poured into the capital yesterday to demand enhanced compensation for their lands being acquired for the Yamuna Expressway project in Uttar Pradesh.
Jantar Mantar, the usual venue of protests near Parliament House, and the vast Ram Lila Ground, where the buses that ferried the thousands of farmers were parked, were packed with protesters who had come from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and other states.
This led to the inevitable traffic trouble with jams reported from areas around Connaught Place.
"We will not stop protesting till our demands are met," declared Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Ajit Singh to loud applause from the protesters who rose in support. He added that the government should ensure that farmers were not cheated of their lands.
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Arun Jaitley said both the central and the state governments were responsible for the situation in Aligarh in western Uttar Pradesh that had resulted in the killing of two farmers recently.
"BJP will oppose all anti-farmer moves," he said.
