Taking to X, Gandhi said, “The propaganda machinery of the Modi government, which has failed to fulfil the promises made to the farmers, is continuously engaged in insulting the farmers.”
“The BJP MP calling the farmers who sacrificed 700 comrades during the 378-day marathon struggle as rapists and representatives of foreign forces is another proof of the BJP’s anti-farmer policy and intentions,” he added.
“These shameful anti-farmer statements are a gross insult to the farmers of the entire country, including western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab, which cannot be accepted under any circumstances. The government committe formed at the time of withdrawing the farmers’ movement is still in cold storage, the government has not been able to clarify its stand on MSP till date, no relief has been given to the families of the martyred farmers and on top of that, their character assassination is continuing,” Rahul Gandhi said.
“The betrayal of farmers by the Modi government cannot be hidden by disrespecting the food providers and attacking their dignity. No matter how much Narendra Modi and BJP conspire, INDIA will ensure legal guarantee of MSP for farmers,” he said.
This comes after Ranaut suggested that farmers’ protests could have led to a Bangladesh-like situation in the country if the BJP’s top leadership was not strong enough.
In a video shared on X, Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut had alleged that “bodies were hanging and rapes were taking place” during the farmers’ protest against the now-repealed three farm laws. “There was a long planning behind all this like in Bangladesh. The farmers had never thought that the three bills which were introduced by the government to help them would be withdrawn. But they are still sitting there,” she said. The BJP MP also claimed that China, America, and other foreign powers were involved in this conspiracy to destroy the country with the help of insiders.
The BJP also took note of Ranaut’s statement and said, ” “The statement made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in the context of the farmers’ movement is not the opinion of the party.The Bharatiya Janata Party expresses its disagreement with the statement made by Kangana Ranaut,” the BJP said in a statement. “Kangana Ranaut is neither permitted nor authorised to make statements on party’s policy. She has been directed not to make such statement in future,” the party added.
