BATHINDA: Farmer leaders have accused the BJP of not being serious in resolving their
issues
and only trying to befool them by stating to be ready to discuss and concede their demands. By fielding Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra again from Lakhimpur Kheri, the BJP has shown that it is not serious in resoling our issues as sacking and arrest of Ajay Mishra was one of our main demands for justice in
Lakhimpur Kheri
case, farmer leader Sarvan Singh Pandher, who is at the forefront of protest at interstate borders of Punjab and Haryana, said on Saturday evening.
During the four rounds of meetings with us in Chandigarh, the three union ministers had been reiterating that union government is ready to discuss and concede the various demands but it has acted to the contrary, sad Pandher adding the party may have to face the anger of the
farmers
from across the country for its decision of retaining Mishra from Kheri in its first list of candidates for general elections.
During ongoing farmer protest, four farmers and a journalist were killed while the mob and lynched three others including two BJP workers and a driver on October 3, 2021 when farmers had assembled at Tikunia in Lakhimpur to show black flags to BJP leaders.
Farmer leaders Joginder Singh Ugrahan and Darshanpal also lambasted the BJP over the decision and said double standards will not be tolerated as central government making claims of resolving the issues but rubbing salts to the unhealed wounds of farmers.
