In news: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait has organized Raitha Mahapanchayat in shivamogga(Karnataka), where his father Mahendra Singh Tikait had participated  in a meeting of Kudremukh Ulisi in the place in January 2000.

A brief note on Raitha Mahapanchayat & Shivamogga

    • The Shivamogga city is  hosting the first Raitha Mahapanchayat of southern India
    • The sam city gave birth to farmers’ movements and the Dalit struggle
    • Shivamogga has a long history of people’s movements. The raitha sangha took birth in the district and attracted nationwide attention with the Kagodu Satyagraha in 1951. 
    • That movement prompted many senior socialist leaders, including Ram Manohar Lohia, to visit the place. With that, the socialist movement also received significant support in the district. 
    • In later years, the struggles of seeking grant of land for the landless tenants put pressure on the governments to bring in pro-farmer laws. 
    • Dalit Sangharsha Samiti took birth in Shivamogga under the leadership of M. Krishnappa, who was teaching in a college at Bhadravati.
    • Besides this, Shivamogga has always been at the forefront in pro-environment struggles. Writers, activists and intellectuals actively participated in the Kudremukh Ulisi (Save Kudremukh) movement. 
  • Rakesh Tikait’s father Mahendra Singh Tikait had participated in a meeting of Kudremukh Ulisi in Shivamogga in January 2000.

  • Birth:  He was born in 1935 at village Sisauli in Muzaffarnagar District of Uttar Pradesh. 
  • Party:  President, Bharatiya Kisan Union

Role in Farmers related movements

  • Tikait first became a significant figure in 1987 when he organised a campaign in Muzaffarnagar demanding the waiving of electricity bills for farmers
