Against the "anti-farmer" policies of the Narendra Modi-led government, the Kisan Khet Mazdoor Congress will gherao Parliament on Tuesday.
After a meeting with senior leaders of the Khet Mazdoor Congress including its president Nana Patole here, Congress president Rahul Gandhi gave approval to the agitation plan.
"Workers of the Kisan Khet Mazdoor Congress from across the country will gherao Parliament on October 23 against the anti-farmer policies of the Modi government," Patole told news agency PTI.
Saffron party has only made false promises, betrayed farmers and has not fulfilled any of its promises, said Patole.
Patole is a farmer leader from Maharashtra's Vidharba region and a former BJP MP.
To press for their demands, including loan waiver, farmers across the country were planning another agitation early next year, he said.
Rahul Gandhi may participate in the agitation.
