Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab leaders, on Wednesday, gheraoed the BJP office in Chandigarh and condemned the BJP and its leader Kangana Ranaut for their anti-farmers stance. The AAP leaders said that Kangana Ranaut’s statement is nothing new but it is the ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
MLA Jagtar Singh Dayalpura (AAP Punjab Kisan Wing President) and Shaminder Singh Khinda (Kisan Wing In-charge and Chairman Agro Industry Corporation) led the protest and a large number of AAP leaders and volunteers joined the protest. The AAP leaders raised slogans against MP Kangana Ranaut and the BJP.
AAP Punjab senior spokesperson Neel Garg said that Kangana Ranaut is an MP now, it is an important responsibility, she cannot give random statements to target one group of people or another. He said that it is not the first time that a BJP leader has given such a statement against our farmers. He said that during farmers protests BJP leaders continuously issued statements to build propaganda against our farmers. Kangana Ranaut’s latest remarks are also derogatory towards our farmers and are very unfortunate. He added that BJP is only distancing itself from her statement because of the upcoming elections in states of Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
MLA Samrala Jagtar Singh Dayalpura said that instead of doing drama of reprimanding Kangana Ranaut, the BJP should expel her and file an FRI against her for defaming our annadatas.
