BJP Withdrew Farm Laws For Sake Of Votes: Akhilesh Yadav To UP Farmers
NDTV
UP polls: Akhilesh Yadav assured farmers that if his alliance forms the government in UP, they will not allow the implementation of any such anti-farmer law in the state.
Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday asked farmers to be wary of the BJP, saying the ruling party's government had withdrawn its controversial farm laws only for the sake of votes.
He also assured farmers that if his alliance forms the government in Uttar Pradesh, they will not allow the implementation of any such anti-farmer law in the state.
Mr Yadav made the statement addressing a joint press conference with Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhary, whose outfit is contesting the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls in alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
Ahead of the Assembly polls, the BJP is reaching out to the Jats in western Uttar Pradesh, from where members of the community had taken part in the year-long stir against the laws at the Delhi's border points.
