AAP’s fresh attack on BJP over farm Bills
Description
NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party functionaries have launched a fresh attack on BJP over farm ordinances. Akali Dal and Congress took a U-turn on the minimum support price ordinance Bills following protests from AAP and farmers, claimed AAP MP Bhagwant Mann. Accusing SAD and Congress of being anti-poor, AAP MLA Jarnail Singh, meanwhile, said that AAP will continue its protest inside and outside the parliament. “In the last few days, we have seen how SAD and its leaders have changed their stand. This happened after the farmers of the country announced that if any party supported the MSP ordinance Bill, then they would be considered as anti-farmers,” said Singh while addressing a press conference. SAD national spokesperson Manjinder Singh Sirsa said SAD has been saying since the beginning that farmers should be taken into confidence before going ahead with the Bills. Farmers hold greater importance to us than any political alliance, he added. “Mann was absent when the voting on the Bill was taking place. Unlike AAP, we will never compromise our principles,” claimed Sirsa.
