While addressing the congregation in front of the DAC, District President Inderjeet Singh Bath said that AAP has backstabbed the Punjab farmers. “Earlier they used to come to us, begging for vote and now they are making policies against the farmers. AAP wants to handover the fertile land of Punjab to the corporate houses which we will not let happen”, said Bath.
State President Sukhwinder Singh Sabhra said that on August 20, the farmers will hold a massive rally at Kukkar village in Jalandhar district against the land pooling policy. Sabhra alleged the state government is dancing on the tunes of party convener Arvind Kejriwal.
