One day special Vidhan Sabha session on agri bills reflects Congress party’s efforts to resolve problems of farmers: Aashu

Jalandhar, Oct 17 (UNI) Lashing out heavily on the ‘insensitive’ approach of the BJP led NDA government and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) over farmers’ issues, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu on Saturday said the union government does not have an iota of pain about the problems being faced by peasantry and SAD which was earlier flag-bearer of three farm bills, have been fighting just to save its political ground in Punjab.
On the sidelines of virtual inauguration of smart village campaign phase-II, Ashu who was speaking to the media persons said that BJP has brought three black Agri laws just to benefit the capitalists and rich people and these draconian laws will lead to massive exploitation of the farming community by private players.
“Earlier, the NDA government did not talk with farm unions which are protesting for one month and when it called them for meeting in Delhi, its ministers insulted the unions as they failed to turn up”, he alleged. He said that BJP is basically urban centered party and does not understand rural area problems or farmers.
