BJP Mainly Responsible For Violence During Farmers’ Tractor Rally In Delhi: Akhilesh Yadav
Mumbai: A day after the violence during the farmers’ tractor rally in various parts of Delhi, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is mainly responsible for the situation.
“The way the BJP government has consistently neglected, humiliated and blamed the farmers, it has played a decisive role in turning the anger of the farmers into a rage. BJP is mainly responsible for the situation that has been created now. The BJP, assuming moral responsibility, should immediately repeal the agricultural laws,” Yadav tweeted (translated from Hindi).
