He also claimed that voters would oust the Narendra Modi-led government in centre if it continued to suppress dissent.

Mr. Raj said he had attended a meeting of around 200 organisations in Delhi, where the Samyukt Kisan Morcha announced its decision to join the protest.

"They have seen the children being beaten; they have seen the protests," Mr. Raj told reporters in Bengaluru, expressing happiness over the SKM's decision to extend support to the agitation.
