Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher criticized Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Haryana. He asked if the PM would say his party’s wins in elections show his way of helping India is working. Pandher pointed out that farmers are unhappy with both the ruling BJP and the opposition INDIA alliance. He urged PM Modi to pay attention to the ongoing farmers’ protests.
“Is he going to say that because his party wins elections, we should see his development as good?” Pandher said. “Farmers and youth have many problems, and the PM should announce solutions that help farmers.”
Today, PM Modi is in Panipat to start construction on a large new campus for Maharana Pratap Horticultural University in Karnal. This $700 crore project will help farmers grow different crops and improve gardening technology.
Recently, police in Punjab and Haryana spoke with farmer leaders about their concerns after many farmers were injured in protests. Tensions are high at the Punjab-Haryana border, where police used tear gas on farmers trying to head to Delhi. Pandher accused the Punjab government of working with the central government to stop the protests. Opposition leaders criticized how the government is handling the situation, highlighting problems like fertilizer shortages and the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.
More discussions are planned for today as farmers decide their next steps in their fight for better treatment.
