Prime Minister Narendra Modi will campaign in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh on Thursday for the Lok Sabha elections.
The Communist Party India (CPI) on Wednesday condemned the police firing on the agitating farmers in Madhya Pradesh that has caused five deaths.
"This is shocking that the BJP government is resorting to brutal police action on the farmers. It exposes the real face of the government," the CPI statement said.
"The government continuously refuses to heed to the genuine demands of farmers that include loan waivers and remunerative prices for their products," the statement added.
