NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday attacked the BJP and AAP over eviction of farmers from Shambhu and Khanauri protest sites, saying it appears that “two anti-farmer parties” have now joined hands against the country’s food providers.
Kharge alleged that both the BJP and the AAP were “intoxicated” with the arrogance of power and are guilty for their actions against farmers.
“It appears that two anti-farmer parties have now joined hands against the country’s food providers! First the Punjab government called the farmers for talks and then forcibly removed them from the protest site,” the Congress president said in a post in Hindi on X. PTI
