HYDERABAD: The Bharatiya Khet Mazdoor Union (BKMU) has sought 150 days of work under the Employment Guarantee Scheme and called upon the poor to come together for a protracted struggle to secure land, work and improved living conditions.

BKMU general secretary and MP, Nagendranath Ojha, regretted that successive Governments had not come up with a time-bound plan to distribute lakhs of acres of land that was fit for cultivation, among the poor.
