Balbir Rajewal and other farmer leaders announce to contest elections in Chandigarh.
The farmers who brought the central government on the back foot by agitating on the Delhi border have jumped into the politics of Punjab. Out of 32 organizations of Punjab that were part of United Kisan Morcha, 25 have announced to contest the elections. After which the remaining 7 organizations have opposed it. Due to this, the United Kisan Morcha in Punjab has been torn apart.
At the same time, BJP leaders said that they were already saying that farmers are doing politics. There was no issue of the farmer returning the agricultural law. BJP leader Surjit Jyani said that the farmers’ organizations were adamant only with the question of moustache. Withdrawing the agriculture law did no good to the farmers.
