BKU Leader Chaduni Wants Farmers’ Unions to Enter Poll Fray in Punjab

News 18  

Bharti Kisan Union leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni, a major face in the ongoing farmers’ agitation, fuelled fire into Punjab’s political scene by vouching for farmer unions to give up their apolitical stance and enter electoral politics in Punjab. Reacting to this, Punjab BJP leader Harjeet Grewal said his earlier stand that the farmers’ real agenda was power behind the agitation stands vindicated. Chaduni said that farmers have been sitting on dharna at the Delhi borders for seven months and even after defeating the BJP in Bengal, farmers’ issues have not been resolved. In sum, farmers issues were never resolved by successive governments since we remained apolitical.” “If we defeat BJP in UP, and we will, will our issues get resolved,” he questioned.
