Understand their pain and point of view to reach common ground, says BJP MP
BJP MP Varun Gandhi said there was a need to re-engage with the protesting farmers who gathered in Muzaffarnagar on Sunday, in a departure from the public positioning taken by the ruling party on the protests. However, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya dismissed the farm protests as ‘drama’ and a ‘conspiracy’ of the BJP’s opponents. Mr. Gandhi, MP from Pilibhit, which has a strong connection with farming and a Punjab influence, tweeted a short video of the mahapanchayat held by farmers in Muzaffarnagar.More Related News
