Farmers from Rajasthan have been protesting in Shahjhanpur near the Rajasthan-Haryana border on the Jaipur-Delhi highway for 14 days.
Beniwal claimed that his coronavirus test was “fudged to keep him out of the Lok Sabha when the three farm laws were passed”.
“Had I been there I would have torn the three laws,” he said, claiming that he has left NDA and would also resign from Lok Sabha if need be. TNS/PTI
