BJP Yuva Morcha dist president joins SAD

Fatehgarh Sahib, December 6

The ongoing farmer’s struggle against the contentious farm laws have started casting its shadow over the BJP in the state as the party got a big jolt in the district as BJP Yuva Morcha district president Ajay Kumar today resigned from the BJP and joined SAD (B) in the presence of senior SAD(B) leader and former Minister Bikram Singh Majithia. A leading industrialist-cum-Congress leader of Mandi Gobindgarh, Pardeep Kumar Mitoo, also joined SAD (B) by resigning from the Congress.

Bikram Singh Majithia welcomed these leaders in the party fold by presenting siropas and assured that they would be given due respect in the party. He said the Modi-led BJP government was behaving like a dictator and they had enacted draconian farm laws, which would ruin not only the farming community, but affect every section of society. He said the farmers were sitting on roads for the past 11 days, but the government was playing with their sentiments and committing atrocities by not conceding to their demands. He said every section of society should stand with the farmers.

Ajay Kumar said he had resigned from the BJP as per the voice of his conscience; he said the Union Government had enacted the farm laws, which were totally against the farmers. He said he had decided to back and join the farmer’s stir and would sit with them in Delhi. — OC
