Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has urged the BKU to not hold protest over the state government’s handling of Covid-19. The chief minister said that the event planned by the farmers’ outfit may turn into a super-spreader.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday urged the BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) not to hold their planned sit-in over his government's "failure" to tackle coronavirus, saying their three-day protest may turn into a super-spreader. The farmers' outfit has decided to hold a protest from May 28 in Patiala, the CM's home constituency. Rejecting the allegation that his government failed to tackle the pandemic, the CM said they fought hard to prevent Punjab going the way of some other states such as Delhi, Maharashtra and even Uttar Pradesh, where bodies floating in the Ganga exposed the mismanagement by the BJP government.More Related News
