Narnaund (Hisar), August 11

Lambasting the BJP government over the ‘poor condition’ of farmers and the working classes, Sirsa MP Kumari Selja alleged that the BJP was shedding crocodile tears on the issue of the farming community now when the Assembly elections are round the corner in the state.

Addressing a rally in Anaj Mandi in Narnaund town of Hisar today, she alleged that the Haryana Government did not even blink once when about 750 farmers sacrificed their lives while holding a dharna along the Delhi borders during the farmers’ agitation.

“Now, they claim to be the well-wishers of farmers, Dalits and working classes, when they are set to face the Assembly elections. Enough is enough. People are so dejected with the BJP that they are eager to kick the BJP out of power in Haryana,” she claimed.

Now, the BJP government was promising to provide MSP on all crops. “The BJP government is a government of slogans. We had never heard the word “jumla” in our lives, but we heard it for the first time under the BJP rule. the BJP stands for Bharatiya Jhooti Party (Indian Lying Party). Don’t fall for the deception again after 10 years,” she said.

“We need to change the government and the system. Corruption is rampant under the BJP government. People are being harassed in the name of PPP. They have trapped the people in a web, and only you can free them from it,” added Selja.
