Member of Legislative Assembly H.K. Patil has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which was least bothered about the soaring prices of petroleum products and essential commodities thereby pushing commoners, farmers and workers to the streets, has lost its moral right to seek votes.
Addressing presspersons in Haveri on Monday, he said that despite the indefinite agitation that farmers have continued for over 10 months now, the BJP-led Union Government was least bothered about their plight. “Through the new farm laws, the BJP government is following anti-farmer policy. It has utterly failed in COVID-19 management also. Now, with what face will they (BJP leaders) go before the electorate to seek votes,” he said.
Taking strong exception to the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, in which a Union Minister’s son has been arrested on the charge of mowing down protesting farmers, Mr. Patil termed the incident as “an attack on humanity”. “If the Supreme Court had not intervened, the UP Government would not have arrested the Union Minister’s son,” he said.
