BJP, AAP have failed to keep promises made to farmers: Punjab LoP Partap Singh Bajwa

Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, February 12

While slamming the BJP-led Union Government for its failure to fulfil its promise to provide a Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantee to the farmers, the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday also targeted Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann alleging that he reneged from his promises made to farmers at several occasions.

“Punjab CM is now attempting to intermediate in the meetings between the representatives of the Union Government and farmers’ unions. However, he himself let down the farmers of the state on numerous occasions. The flood-affected farmers have not yet been compensated by the state government, even though the CM used to say that he would provide compensation for hens also,” said Bajwa.

Bajwa alleged that when the CM was attempting to resolve the issues between farmers and Central Government, the police resorted to lathi-charge at the activists of the Berozgar Sanjha Morcha at Sangrur, which showed CM’s insensitivity towards the struggling people.
