New Delhi, March 6 : As the farmers’ agitation over the three Central farm laws completed 100 days on Saturday, the Congress attacked the BJP-led government at the Centre, alleging that riding on the arrogance of majority, it has gone blind as it can’t see anything beyond power.
In a statement, Congress General Secretary and national media in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “Riding on arrogance of brute majority, the Narendra Modi government has turned blind. They are unable to see anything beyond power.” He said that democracy is not run like an authotarian regime, but it is governed as per the requirements of the people.
Surjewala also said that the defeat of the BJP in four states and one Union Territory in the coming Assembly elections will open the path for providing minimum support price to the farmers and repealing the three farm laws.
Targeting the government over the farm laws, the Congress leader said, “The farmers are being suppressed by the government for the last 100 days. The BJP leaders and ministers have used several words to demonise the farmers, who faced extreme harsh conditions on the borders of the national capital opposing the three farm laws.” Highlighting the plight of the farmers in the last 100 days, Surjewala said that the government brought the three black laws to favour its industrialist friends.
