Vote against those who made you sit on the roads: BKU to farmers

The message has already reached the ground, says outfit leader Yudhvir Singh

Describing the report in a national newspaper misleading, Bhartiya Kisan Union national general secretary Yudhvir Singh said on Tuesday that he didn’t say ‘BKU is not against BJP’. Mr. Singh’s alleged statement led to chatter in social media groups about whether the BKU had been able to sustain farmers’ anger against the BJP and whether the Tikait brothers would put their weight behind those who could spoil BJP’s prospects in the upcoming panchayat polls in the State. “What I meant was BKU is not a political organisation and we don’t tell people where to vote in a panchayat election. But I also said farmers could cast their vote for any candidate except for the BJP supported ones,” said Mr. Singh.
