Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the BJP-ruled Centre accusing it of “indifference” towards the farmers who have been protesting for the last three months at Delhi’s borders — Singhu, Tikri and Ghaziabad — against the three farm laws.
Addressing a “Kisan Mahapanchayat” in Meerut, he alleged that the January 26 violence at Red Fort was orchestrated by the BJP itself.
The Chief Minister also compared the BJP to Britishers, saying not even the colonisers used water canons and lathis on farmers.
Criticising the Centre, he said the three agricultural laws are death warrant for the farmers. The Chief Minister said it has been more than three months and 250 farmers have lost their lives while protesting against the three farm laws but the Government has done nothing about it.
