Congress displaying fake concern for farmers: K'taka BJP

Bengaluru: The state BJP accused the Congress of displaying fake concern for farmers and risking people’s lives with reckless and irresponsible acts.

“Dear Indian National Congress, congratulations for disrupting public life to display your fake concern for farmers through today’s Bandh. What did you really achieve? Do you even realize that you put the lives of people at risk with your reckless and irresponsible act?” tweeted Karnataka BJP’s official handle.

Opposing the agriculture sector reform laws passed by the BJP-led Central Government, the Congress Party on Monday, September 28 had organized nationwide agitation in the state capital under the aegis of the Pradesh Congress Committees (PCC).

“The protests were aimed at making the deaf Government listen to the voice of farmers and withdraw the atrocious anti-farmer laws passed by the Central government abolishing MSP (minimum support price) and creating corporate monopolies in the farm produce procurement sector,” Congress said in an official statement.
