BJP leaders gheraoed in Barnala

Barnala, March 27

Barnala farmers today gheraoed BJP leaders at the local rest house for around five hours. After the leaders promised to raise their demands with the central government, the farmers relented and allowed them to leave.

“Punjab BJP leaders are well aware that farmers are protesting against the laws. Our family members are sitting at the Delhi borders, but BJP leaders are trying to create law and order problems by visiting various places in the state. Today, we gheraoed them,” said Chamkaur Singh, a BKU (Ugrahan) leader from Barnala.

BJP leader Parveen Bansal along with Barnala chief Yadwinder Shanty and in charge Vijay Singla had reached the local rest house to address the media against the “failures” of the Punjab Government in fulfilling its poll promises. Though the press conference concluded without any disruption, the farmers reached in front of the venue and started raising slogans. — TNS
