‘BJP promised to double income, gave black laws’
Description
LUCKNOW: In an exclusive chat with TOI, before leaving for Kannauj to launch his kisan yatra, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said, “If the government is saying farm laws are for farmers, but if farmers don’t want them, then where is the confusion? The laws should be immediately repealed. NDA government promised to double the income of farmers, but what is being handed out to them are black laws which will further torment them. The BJP government has a hidden agenda to vacate farmers from their ancestral land and ask capitalists and corporate houses to take over.” On being dubbed a twitter neta, who avoids hitting the streets, Akhilesh said, “It’s false propaganda by BJP. During the lockdown, party workers fanned out across state to provide essential commodities, despite criminal cases being slapped against them. During the migrant crisis, I, Dimple and party workers served food and water to lakhs of migrants by walking in the scorching sun.”
