"Need To Rethink Policy": Varun Gandhi On Video Of UP Farmer Burning Crop

"Need To Rethink Policy": Varun Gandhi On Video Of UP Farmer Burning Crop

NDTV
Saturday, October 23, 2021 8:05 AM GMT

The BJP MP has been critical of his party in UP; on Thursday he tweeted photos of floods in the state's Terai region and slammed the Yogi Adityanath administration

MP Varun Gandhi - dumped from the BJP's National Executive after speaking on behalf of farmers protesting the new laws and calling for justice for those killed in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri - has called for a "rethink" of the country's agriculture policies. उत्तर प्रदेश के किसान श्री समोध सिंह पिछले 15 दिनों से अपनी धान की फसल को बेचने के लिए मंडियों में मारे-मारे फिर रहे थे, जब धान बिका नहीं तो निराश होकर इसमें स्वयं आग लगा दी।इस व्यवस्था ने किसानों को कहाँ लाकर खड़ा कर दिया है? कृषि नीति पर पुनर्चिंतन आज की सबसे बड़ी ज़रूरत है। pic.twitter.com/z3EjYw9rIz Much of the Terai is badly flooded. Donating dry rations by hand so that no family is hungry till this calamity ends. It's painful that when the common man needs the system the most,he's left to fend for himself.If every response is individual-led then what does ‘governance' mean pic.twitter.com/P2wF7Tb431 Wise words from a big-hearted leader… pic.twitter.com/xlRtznjFAx

The Lok Sabha MP from UP's Pilibhit tweeted a video of a farmer from Lakhimpur who said he had been forced to burn his paddy crop because it had remained unsold for 15 days.

"A farmer from Uttar Pradesh - Samodh Singh - was going from mandi (wholesale market) to mandi for 15 days trying to sell his crop. After failing to do so, in desperation, he burned his entire crop," Mr Gandhi wrote as he shared the video.

The video shows a man - presumably Mr Singh - throwing kerosene on his crop and, despite some trying to hold him back, he sets fire to the whole thing.
