SAD-BJP, Congress responsible for farmers’ plight: AAP

Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday alleged that SAD-BJP and Congress governments had done nothing to bale out the farmers from debt but were responsible for the “pathetic condition” of farmers in Punjab.

“Farmers in Punjab are reeling under the heavy burden of loans of around Rs 90,000 crore and are being compelled to commit suicides. Both the SAD-BJP and Congress parties make attractive promises during the elections, but after coming to power they did nothing to bale out the farmers from debt,” AAP state convener Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi said.
