Gajendra Singh Shekhawat
Chandigarh, October 28
Sounding the poll bugle for the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections, state BJP’s election incharge Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said the Centre was again ready for negotiations with farmers.
Shekhawat stressed: “The government has already held 11 rounds of talks with the farmer unions, we are ready for a dialogue again. We are ready to listen and discuss with farmers with an open mind and open heart,” he said.
He said the Centre had never escaped from negotiations but that should be held in atmosphere of faith.
The BJP senior leader said some people out of their political aspirations and selfish interests were trying to use farmers and didn’t want the issue to be resolved.
On Capt Amarinder Singh’s claims regarding mediating with farmers, he said anybody was welcome to mediate or resolve the issue at the earliest.
He also claimed the BJP had brought paradigm shift in agriculture by making it profit-oriented instead of production-oriented. On Congress, he said the party was a broken house. — TNS
