Response to Lakhimpur Kheri reflects BJP’s dilemma

The Hindu  

BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Monday called for restraint and patience in dealing with protesting farmers a day after eight people died in violence in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh. In a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Mr. Gandhi said a murder case under IPC section 302 should be lodged against those involved in the death of farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri and a CBI enquiry instituted. Govindacharya too counselled that the Uttar Pradesh government should not treat the issue and the events in Lakhimpur Kheri as just a “law and order” problem but acknowledge the scope and complication of the issue of a long running movement by farmers’ groups and look for a solution that can satisfy all. by farmer’s groups and the violence in Lakhimpur Kheri indicate that the protests against the farm laws are casting a long shadow indeed, something that is worrisome as Assembly polls loom in Uttar Pradesh.
