Some 2,000 farmers from Uttar Pradesh are headed to New Delhi in support of the fasting Anna Hazare, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) said Thursday.

"BKU supports Hazare's campaign," BKU's Dharamendra Malik said in Muzaffarnagar, some 350 km from Lucknow. He said the farmers were headed to Delhi's Ramlila ground where Hazare is fasting.
