Won’t oppose activities of any party other than BJP, says BKU
Description
BATHINDA: Two days after 32 farmer organisations held a meeting under the aegis of Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) and told various political parties to refrain from major political activities like campaigning until elections are announced in Punjab, the state’s largest farm body, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan), voiced a divergent view on Sunday, saying that they would not oppose the activities of any political party other than BJP, says Neel Kamal. Speaking to TOI, BKU Ugrahan chief Joginder Singh Ugrahan said: “The protest against the three controversial farm laws is at a crucial juncture. We are in a big fight against a mighty government. At such a time we cannot afford to lose support of those who presently are enemies of BJP... The traditional parties have their cadres in every village of Punjab. They are presently supporting us, but by opposing them, we may lose their support and also prepare ground for confrontation in villages. This won’t be in favour of the struggle.”
