The farmers were protesting demanding better rates for their land being acquired by a state-run power company in the district's Chausa block.The BJP leader reached the block today and interacted with the locals."You were protesting peacefully, but people across the country are hurt due to the turn of events in Chausa. I see the demands as genuine and I support you as the leader of the BJP. I support your demand of seeking the circle rate of 2022 for your lands.
