Farmers are being misled by Punjab’s leadership. They should engage in a dialogue with the government as every issue can be resolved through peaceful discussions.

He also alleged that some farmer unions received funding from Canada, which is now facing internal unrest. Dr Middha further accused certain groups of attempting to promote Khalistan under the guise of farmer protests.

He criticised former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for calling Manohar Lal Khattar an “accidental CM” and advised him to choose his words carefully. “Hooda is a senior leader, but he should control his language,” he added. He also lauded former CM Manohar Lal Khattar and CM Nayab Singh Saini for their honest efforts in improving the state.

Dr. Middha said the BJP has formed the government in Haryana for the third consecutive term due to transparency and efficient governance.

Taking a jab at the Congress, Dr Midha said: “Blaming EVMs after losing elections has become the Congress’ old habit. The party is now left with nothing to offer and is in a pitiable state.” Comparing the Congress’ current condition to the phrase “Naach na jaane aangan tedha,” Midha suggested that the party is blaming external factors for its own failures.
