‘Many leaders don’t want backward tag’
Description
Kolhapur: BJP state chief Chandrakant Patil on Monday said that many Maratha leaders are against being called backward and therefore they are opposing reservation in jobs and education for the poor members of the community. The leader also slammed Bollywood actor Kangna Ranaut for terming those opposing the farm Bill as terrorist. “BJP never supported her earlier for calling Mumbai PoK. Neither we support her now for calling those opposing the bill as terrorist. I don’t know her personally, but would like to say that she may not be able to comprehend the ill-effects of what she is saying.” Patil added that the farm Bill passed by the Parliament was a historic moment. Meanwhile, former MP and farmer leader Raju Shetti has slammed the central government for passing the bills with brute majority. “The Modi government has made the farmers dependent on big corporate houses. We want to know how they will implement the law,” Shetti said.
