All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) issued the following statement on November 10, 2026:

AIKS calls upon all its units and the peasantry to observe November 15, Birsa Munda Day as the Flag Day of the 36th Conference of AIKS on November 15-18, 2026, at Nalgonda, Telangana. All the units across India will adorn the offices and villages with flags and festoons, organise morning processions/prabhat pheries, and take the message of the urgency of intensifying massive struggles against anti-people policies of the corporate-communal Modi regime to the masses.   

November 15 marks the 151st anniversary of the martyrdom of legendary leader of independence struggle against British Imperialism Birsa Munda, to protect the land rights and liberate the tribal people from slavery. The AIKS Conference is being held at Nalgonda which was the epicentre of the historic Telangana armed peasants’ struggle against feudal landlords, a glorious struggle led by AIKS against Imperialism and Feudalism.

Organisationally, the last four years witnessed many remarkable successes, with approximately 22 lakh membership increase in this period to 1,58,67,771. AIKS units are working in 36,763 Villages with 62,597 primary units in 27 states/UTs, making AIKS the largest countrywide kisan movement today.

The Conference will review the efforts of the last four years to build resistance against corporate policies. In the 2024 General Elections, the BJP-RSS combine faced a decisive setback by losing their single party majority in the Parliament, reducing its tally from 303 to 240 and forced to depend on the NDA allies to sustain in power for the third time. This was possible mainly due to the large-scale erosion of support from the peasantry to BJP in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The people’s verdict was the result of the painstaking struggles undertaken by AIKS also, independently as well as jointly with the SKM, in coordination with CITU, AIAWU and Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions during this period, focussing on the class and livelihood issues such as MSP, loan waiver, repeal of four Labour Codes, restoration of MGNREGA, opposition to privatisation of electricity, no to Free Trade Agreements, among others.  

However, the onslaught on working people has intensified especially in the recent period. The manipulation through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and deletion of 13.4 crore voters - approximately 15% voters - from the voter rolls, the resultant unexpected victory of BJP in West Bengal opened up intensifying onslaught on the working people as we are witnessing through the imposition of the four Labour Codes, repeal of MGNREGA, the imposition of series of Free Trade Agreements, etc.  The conference will resolve to intensify the farmers' struggle independently as well as united with SKM and unleash massive struggles along with the workers, agricultural workers and all sections of the people to protect the vital interests of the entire working people and the democratic, secular and federal principles of the Constitution of India.
