Several civil society organisations on Monday said they will launch a nation-wide campaign later this week to highlight the failures of the ruling BJP-led government ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

The organisations which include Swaraj Abhiyan, National Alliance of Peoples' Movements, All India Kisan Sangharsh Samnvay Samiti and Pension Parishad said the campaign will aim at bringing "real issues back into electoral focus" and increase awareness about issues like farm distress, hate crimes and unemployment.

Over 600 civil society organisations will launch 'Desh Mera, Vote Mera, Mudda Mera' campaign on March 23, observed as Shaheed Divas, during which rallies, marches, human chains and seminars will be held across the country.

Experts discuss these important demands and why they find the current narrative so dangerous.
