Chandigarh, December 7

Mocking him for calling himself a “sevadar” of the farmers, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh today asked his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal if he even knew the difference between wheat and paddy.

The Chief Minister said for the man (Kejriwal) who had wasted no time in notifying one of the three Central farm laws and publicly expressed his helplessness in the matter, the claim of being a sevadar of the farmers was simply ludicrous.

He challenged Kejriwal to cite once instance of anything his government had done for farmers in Delhi. “You did not even bother to convene a session of the Delhi Vidhan Sabha on the issue,” said Capt Amarinder.

Capt Amarinder alleged the whole drama of supporting the Bharat Bandh and standing with the farmers was being enacted by the party with an eye on the Assembly elections due in early 2022. “You and your party members in Punjab had exposed your deceit and double standards back in 2017, and your wishy-washy stand on the farmers’ issue now has again nailed your lies,” he said to Kejriwal.
