BJP prepares to counter Priyanka’s foray in UP

Lucknow, Feb 18 : The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is planning a series of pro-farmer meetings in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh to clear the misconceptions regarding the farm laws among farmers.
Leaders, who are connected to farmers, will be entrusted the responsibility of these meetings which will also be held in canal and eastern Uttar Pradesh.
This will be the BJP’s way of countering Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s foray into the farmers’ agitation through her Kisan Panchayats in western Uttar Pradesh.
The BJP leaders can see a pattern in Priyanka’s visits which are a combination of a pro-farmer approach and a touch of “soft Hindutva” through her temple visits.
In the past two weeks, the Congress general secretary has visited the state thrice.
On February 4, she visited the family of a farmer from Rampur who died during the ongoing stir against the farm laws.
