Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) chief Rakesh Tikait has dismissed the remarks by a Haryana Congress chief whereby she requested get together staff to donate cash and liquor to farmers’ who’re protesting at Delhi border factors in opposition to the brand new agri legal guidelines. Tikait stated that such leaders don’t have anything to do with the “farmers’ movement”.
“What is the use of liquor here? I don’t know why she’s making such comments. Such people don’t have anything to do with the movement. It’s wrong and shouldn’t be done,” Tikait informed reporters on Congress’ Vidya Rani’s controversial assertion.
“They can distribute whatever they want to in their (Congress) own movement,” he added.
Earlier on Monday, Congress chief Vidya Rani requested her get together staff to distribute alcohol amongst different issues to “support” farmers’ agitation. Rani made the remark in the course of the Congress’ govt meet in Jind.

“We should help them. Be it money, vegetables, liquor – we can contribute as we like and strengthen this agitation. It is not a movement of farmers only but all of us,” Rani was heard saying in a 80-second video, which went viral on the web.

On Congress chief Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s go to to Uttar Pradesh for the second time in every week to deal with Kisan panchayat, Tikat stated, “If she is going to the panchayat then who are we to stop them, everyone should hold panchayats. Priyanka is sitting in Delhi, so what can she do here only? She must visit the village.”
“We are not conducting mahapanchayats. The (political leaders) must be holding their own panchayats, not our farmers unions,” he added.
