"During the 'satyagraha', party leaders will highlight the special contribution of independent India's first union home minister Sardar Patel to the farmers' cause and their rights, particularly in the context of Bardoli farmers movement and how the Modi government is blatantly attacking what the Sardar fought for, as also undoing the 'Green Revolution' ushered in by then prime minister Indira Gandhi that made India self-sufficient in food," said AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal.
