The Samajwadi Party on Thursday said it will take out Kisan yatra in all 75 districts of the state from December 7 to express solidarity with protesting farmers and against "anti-farming policies" of the BJP-led government at the Centre.
Party workers and office bearers will also raise farmers' issues and create awareness among people about the new farm laws, a party release issued here said.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav appealed to the people as well as party workers to support the farmers in their struggle and ensure that they face no shortage of essentials like floor, pulses, rice and milk.
