Farmers’ protest: Mayawati slams Amarinder over letter to PM
The Hindu
It is a conspiracy to defame the movement, says BSP president
BSP president Mayawati on Saturday targeted Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh over his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the ongoing farmers’ agitation. “The letter written by the Congress CM of Punjab to the PM, expressing various apprehensions about the farmers’ agitation, is a conspiracy to defame the movement of the farmers, who are sacrificing their lives to get the new agricultural laws repealed, and pursue electoral politics under its guise. This is most unfair,” she said in a tweet in Hindi. Taking the Centre’s cooperation on challenges faced by the government of a border State is not unreasonable, but pursuing selfish electoral politics under its garb and defaming the farmers’ movement are something the public understands well, Ms. Mayawati said.
