Com . S . Jhansi , the AP State leader , in her concluding words , said : Com . Jaswant was explaining with examples the nature of the reforms talked about by the rulers . The three anti-people , anti - peasant laws recently brought by the Central govt . and their aspects are only a continuation of earlier policies . They a laying the road legally for the Corporate and company agriculture . As a consequence , the crisis in the lives of tenant farmers and agricultural labor is going to deepen further . Congress today is crying hoarse against these laws . But it pursued the same policies when it was in power . They are only investing the capital and bringing changes in the agrarian sector in the interests of their exploitation . These are not fundamental . The peasant masses , therefore , must be prepared for struggle against the big landlords whom the imperialists have made as their social base ; against the imperialists and their comprador big bourgeoisie with the slogan of land to the tiller . All claims of the rulers that the peasant ’ s income had gone up are a big lie . In the face of this situation , it is the task of Comrades to go to the villages , organize the people into the agrarian revolution . This alone can be the best way of paying tributes to Com . Jaswant .
Three hundred people from various districts of the State have attended the Memorial Meeting observing all Covid precautions .
