Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has criticized the statements made by the Haryana Agriculture Minister to the farmers of the BJP’s big leaders. Amarinder said that the BJP government at the Center and the Manohar Lal Khattar government of Haryana should resign.
Amarinder Singh lashed out at Tomar over what he called was his “outrageous statement” citing Delhi Police information that only two farmers have died and one has committed suicide.
“Even the media has released details of more than 200 farmers who have lost their lives in this agitation,” the CM said in a statement.
He also criticised Haryana minister J P Dalal, who had stoked a controversy on Saturday, saying the farmers would have died even if they had stayed back home.
Dalal made the remark in Bhiwani in response to a reporter”s query over the death of farmers.
However, hours after making the statement, the Haryana agriculture minister said he had seen “twisted” statements attributed to him on social media.
