Haryana CM Khattar lashes out at Amarinder Singh over farmers' issues
The Hindu
Punjab CM Amarinder Singh had accused the BJP, including the Haryana CM, of taking refuge in “shameful lies” over the “horrendous attacks” on protesting farmers on August 28.
After accusing the Congress government in Punjab of fuelling farmers' unrest in his state, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar listed several steps taken by the BJP-ruled state for farmers, and asked what Amarinder Singh's government has done done in comparison. The Haryana CM asked Mr. Singh “who is anti-farmer, Punjab or Haryana” after highlighting in eight of his tweets various steps taken by his dispensation for farmers' welfare. “Haryana procures 10 crops at MSP—paddy, wheat, mustard, bajra, gram, moong, maize, ground nut, sun flower, cotton and makes the MSP payment directly into the account of the farmer. How many crops does Punjab buy from the farmer at MSP?” Mr. Khattar asked his Punjab counterpart in one of his tweets.
