Provide Relief To Farmers, Don’t Make False Promises: Punjab Cong Chief To Kejriwal

Mumbai: Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja on Sunday asked AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal to provide relief to the farmers instead of making “fake” and “false” claims and promises.

Reminding a delegation of farmers last October about Kejriwal’s promise that there would be no farmer suicides from April 1 if the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) formed the government in Punjab, the PCC president said there had been 14 suicides in the last 24 days.

“Nobody stops you and your party’s government in Punjab from providing relief to farmers which you promised, why are you not doing that?” he asked Kejriwal while wondering why chief minister Bhagwant Mann and other AAP leaders in the state were silent on such a serious issue.

Warring said the previous Congress government had promised to waive farmers’ loans and waived Rs 6,000 crore to Rs 2 lakh for thousands of farmers and landless labourers.

He asked Kejriwal to give relief to the farmers instead of making false and false claims and promises.
