Delhi Congress accused the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of diverting peoples’ attention from real issues by tearing off copies of the farm Acts passed by the Centre in the special session of the Delhi Assembly.
Delhi Congress unit president Anil Kumar said Chief Minister Arvind took up the farmers’ issue only after the Delhi Congress wrote to him, demanding the matter be discussed in the special session.
Addressing the media, Kumar said the Arvind Government realised the urgency to call a special session of the House only after 25 farmers had died in 24 days, due to the bone-chilling cold in the open.= The Congress president said the Arvind Kejriwal Government was showing ‘fake’ sympathy to the farmers’ protest after endorsing one of the Modi Government’s three black Acts, which will ruin the farmers across the country.
Kumar added CM is trying to mislead people of the country and Delhi with his cheap political stunts as in the last seven years of Aam Aadmi Party rule in Delhi, the farm sector was one of the most neglected. He said the Government had not bothered to give compensation to the farmers when they suffered extensive crop damage due to heavy rain and hail storms.
