Nadda takes lunch with 2500 farmers

At a time when the farmers are agitating near the national capital against the BJPled Central govt’s farm laws, BJP national chief JP Nadda on Saturday took lunch with 2500 farmers of West Bengal. Before flagging off the BJP’s ‘Parivartan Yatra’ in Nabadwip, Nadda at Malda had lunch in public with 2500 farmers with simple ‘Khichdi’. Maligning the ruling Trinamool Congress, Nadda said that the TMC government didn’t address the problem of the poor and also that the BJP government always stands firm with the farmers and other poor people. Notably, the entire countr y is witnessing a widespread violence as several political parties are lending support to the protesting farmers at Singhu border. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had time-and-again claimed that the TMC is always with the protesting farmers and also claimed that the new farm laws are ‘anti-people’ and ‘antifarmers’.

Demanding immediate repealing of the three farm bills, the protesting farmers even held a protest march at Red Fort on Republic Day and unfurled their flag in the place where National Flag gets hoisted. Incidentally, on Februar y 4, 15 MPs from 10 Opposition parties including SAD, DMK, NCP and Trinamool Congress, were stopped by police from meeting the protesting farmers at the Ghazipur border. According to poll analysts, the backward and the downtrodden sections are mostly targeted by the politicians in order to get votes.
