BJP is an anti-farmers party: Punjab AAP

Tuesday, 27 August 2024 | PNS | Chandigarh

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab on Monday described the BJP’s reprimand of Kangana Ranaut as a "mere act" and a strategic move ahead of the assembly elections.

In a statement issued here, AAP Punjab senior spokesperson Neel Garg claimed that the reprimand is merely performative, as Ranaut’s remarks reflect the Bharatiya Janata Party's ideology. Garg noted that this is not the first instance of a BJP leader making statements or actions detrimental to people or farmers, yet the BJP has historically rewarded such individuals, citing examples like the party's endorsement of Ranaut and Ajay Mishra Teni.

Garg highlighted that the BJP’s attempt to distance itself from Ranaut’s controversial statement is likely motivated by the upcoming assembly elections in several states. He pointed out that while BJP leaders frequently label farmers as terrorists and separatists, the party has never taken substantial action against them. Garg suggested that the BJP’s recent statements are driven by the pressure of farmers’ discontent in Haryana, a key election state.
