New Delhi: The Congress leader SS Randhawa on Thursday criticized Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) calling it a B-team of BJP, saying if Kejriwal was worried about farmers he may have visited Punjab several times then as farmers protests are going on since February last year.
The leader also raised a question on the Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s decision to write to the Delhi government, suggesting he should have addressed the governments of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan instead, as they have a larger number of farmers.
Randhawa also criticized Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for not visiting Punjab’s farmers, who he believes are fighting for the rights of farmers across India.
He further shared that AAP is the B-team of BJP. If Shivraj Singh Chouhan had to write a letter, he should have written to the governments of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan because there are a large number of farmers here.
“How many farmers are there in Delhi? Why has Kejriwal not gone to the farmers of Punjab till date? The farmers of Punjab are fighting the battle of the farmers of India and there is no politics in it..,” he said.
Earlier, reacting to the allegations of Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party saying that the condition of farmers has never been “as bad as” it was during BJP’s rule, according to a statement issued from the Chief Minister’s office.
Sharpening her attack, she further alleged that the “BJP talking about farmers is like Dawood preaching on non-violence.”
