ANINew Delhi: In a sign of more bitterness between old allies Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the BJP, SAD President Sukhbir Badal said on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi “had been shaken up by the bomb of Harsimrat Badal’s resignation” and the PM was hence now speaking on the farmer bills daily. Badal also said that a protest march being organised by him in Punjab on October 1 “will shake up the throne of Delhi”.
At a protest venue in Lambi village in Mukhtsar to which Sukhbir drove on a tractor along with his wife Harsimrat, the SAD President said he had been telling the Central government to speak on the bills for the last two months but they did not.
“In World War 2, Japan was in a strong position but US threw a nuclear bomb and shook up Japan. We also threw one bomb in form of Harsimrat’s resignation and we have shaken up Modi,” Sukhbir Badal said. “Now, he (the PM) speaks daily on it. So do five ministers. Big advertisements are brought out. This should have been done earlier,” Badal said.
He said a major protest march being organised by him on October 1 will shake up the throne in Delhi as well the one in Chandigarh, in a reference to the Modi government and the Captain Amarinder Singh government.
Badal also said that people who have brought the bills do not know much about agriculture and hence have framed wrong laws.
“I am a farmer and my generations have been into farming. But we were not asked. In Parliament during the debate on the bills, my mike was switched off or I would have said that I am throwing the resignation towards them (BJP government),” Badal said. On Thursday, in Talwandi Sabo, Badal had said that no alliance was necessary for him.
