Sidhu inciting farmers on false and baseless grounds: Chugh
Chandigarh, November 22, 2021: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh today slammed Punjab PCC president Navjot Sidhu for creating unwarranted fears in the minds of farmers by suggesting that the Centre had plans to do away with the MSP system.
In a statement, Chugh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already assured farmers to strengthen the MSP system and to bring more crops under the cover. At no stage has the Centre indicated about dispensing with the MSP system but Sidhu cannot help playing to the gallery.
"Sidhu, for his cheap politics, wants to perpetuate unrest among farmers by cooking up imaginary ideas. It is not just deplorable and reprehensible but disgusting to see him plot his political relevance on the basis of falsehood and cheating," Chugh said.
He said it was a clear ploy on the part of Sidhu to divert the nation's attention and worry over his love for Pakistan Prime Minister Navjot Sidhu."When the entire nation has been castigating him for demonstrating his adoration for Imran Khan, Sidhu chose to switch gear to the farmers' issue on false and misleading propaganda", he said.
The prime minister, Chugh said, is committed to the welfare of farmers and would not take any step which does not help in their prosperity and growth.
