Party trying to steal farmers’, Congress’ credit
ays, BJP-AAP playing fixed match
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring today ridiculed the Bhartiya Janata Party for celebrating the withdrawal of the ‘land pooling policy’ by the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab.
‘Begaani shadi mein Abdullah deewana”, he remarked about the BJP celebrating the farmers’ victory.
Reacting to the BJP’s rally today, Warring said, the party was trying to steal the credit of the farmers and the Congress party both of whom put up a strong resistance against these laws with massive protests against the policy.
“It is the farmers and the Congress workers who deserve the credit for forcing the government to retreat and withdraw the policy and now the BJP is trying to steal the credit”, he noted while asking the BJP leadership what was its contribution in making the government to withdraw the policy.
The PCC president said that the BJP was playing a fixed match with the AAP as the latter was trying to help it in making inroads in Punjab.
But, Warring added, the wounds that the BJP inflicted on the Punjabi farmers during the anti-farm law protests are too fresh to be forgotten. “No matter what sort of games the A and the B teams play, they stand exposed before the people of Punjab”, he remarked.
