Punjab Elections 2022: The farmers' movement in the country is over, but under the guise of the Kisan movement, the trick of playing politics is prevalent. The farmer leaders, who were on the road for a year leading the movement, will now take leadership in politics. In Punjab elections, farmer leader Gurnam Charuni today announced his 'Syukt Sangharsh Party' in Chandigarh.

He also announced the name of a candidate-

Gurnam Singh Charuni is a leader of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) and an important member of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, which ran the movement for a year. Charuni has announced his new party by holding a press conference in Chandigarh today. Charuni has named it Mission Punjab. He has also announced the name of a candidate in Fatehgarh Sahib under the same mission.

"Politics has become polluted. There's a need to change it. Policymakers promoting capitalism, policies are being framed to favour capitalists. Nothing is done for common man, the poor. So, we're launching our new party, Sanyukt Sangharsh Party," said Charuni. 

It may be noted that the Samyukta Kisan Morcha did not agree with Charuni's election decision. There was also a tug of war between Gurnam Singh Charuni and the leaders of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, but Charuni remained adamant on his point. However, Charuni has made it clear that he himself will not enter the fray, but will field farmers.

Gurnam Singh Charuni has been a part of the political party.

Gurnam Singh has been a part of the political party before. Gurnam Singh Chadhuni's wife Balwinder Kaur had tried her luck on an Aam Aadmi Party ticket in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Kurukshetra. Her deposit was forfeited in that election and Gurnam Singh Charuni then distanced himself from politics. The BJP had questioned the intention of the Kisan movement over these political aspirations of Charuni.
