Sunil Jakhar blames CM Mann for failed negotiation between farmers and Centre
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, February 20, 2024: Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday launched attack on Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on failure of negotiation between agitating farmers and Central government.
"It is most unfortunate that the negotiations between the farmers and the central govt have not fructifed. With Sh Bhagwant Mann himself -of all the people-acting as the lawyer for the farmers, these negotiations were destined to fail - because CM Mann had every thing to gain from the failure of these talks. Not only would he now be able to show central govt in bad light but also redirect those farmers also to Delhi who had initially wanted to march to Chandigarh. And sure enough, he has succeeded in this mission by jeopardising the sincere efforts of both the farmers and the central ministerial team to arrive at a solution," Sunil Jakhar wrote on social media account X.
"Punjab wonders who gave the vakalat nama ( authority ) to represent the farmers to such a person - who not only backtracked on his promise to provide MSP within 5 minutes of formation of his govt but also cheated Punjab farmers out of the compensation for flood damage," he further added.
