"What Will You Call Farmer Protest At Badal Event?": BJP Dig At Akalis

A Shiromani Akali Dal event, in which Sukhbir Singh Badal was taking part, witnessed protests by farmers in Moga, Punjab.

Two days after a large number of protesting farmers tried to disrupt an event organised by the Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab's Moga district, the state BJP today mocked its former ally over the incident. State BJP President Ashwani Kumar Sharma today said the protest at former Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal's event on Thursday showed that the farmers weren't angry only with the leading the NDA government at the Centre. "When we were facing protests, these parties (AAP, Congress, and the Akali Dal) used to say 'there was anger against the BJP'. Now what will you call the incident in Moga?" Mr Sharma asked a BJP event. "Why were you forced to suspend your campaign?" he asked.
