Party hopes to corner AAP Govt. on unkept promises to farmers
The Delhi BJP’s efforts to explain the three farm laws to the farmers over the last year, including public meetings across 360 villages, came to naught after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced his decision to repeal them on Friday. The party’s State unit has found itself in a tight spot.
To put up a brave face following the development, the party had initially planned a thanksgiving programme after Mr. Modi’s televised address. It was, however, called off within minutes.
A senior party leader played down the cancelled event as an aberration resulting from ‘miscommunication’. Another leader said it was evidence of the fissures within the party’s State unit, coming as it did due to the lack of an ‘effective communication strategy’.
