Won’t let Haryana leaders use religious events for political gains: BKU
Description
The growing trust deficit among farmers and the BJP-JJP have reached to a level where the BKU had to send its activists to a religious event to ensure that the leaders are not using it for political gains.There were speculations that Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala may reach Shahabad to attend a religious event on Tuesday, following which BKU (Charuni) had given a protest call. The farmers were asked to reach in good numbers to protest his visit.But on Monday evening, Shahabad MLA Ramkaran Kala clarified that Dushyant was not coming, while BKU leaders didn’t trust him and sent their activists to keep a watch at the event venue.MLA Kala said: “It was a religious event that we have been organising for several years... I’ve always supported the farmers and want the matter to be resolved soon.”Meanwhile, BKU (Charuni) spokesman Rakesh Bains said: “We are protesting against BJP-JJP leaders but not opposing them at religious events and won’t do so in future as well. However, we won’t let the politicians use the religious events for their gains.” — TNS
