New Delhi: Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, on March 20, 2025, accused the ruling BJP and the AAP of betraying the farmers and asserted that the farmers of the country will never forgive these “anti-farmer” parties.

Attacking the two parties for their policies on agriculture, Congress President said, “It seems that the two anti-farmer parties have now joined hands against the country’s farmers. First the Punjab government called the farmers for talks and then forcibly removed them from the protest site.”

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, wrote on X (twitter), “Whether its Modi ji’s promise of Minimum Support Price (MSP) to the farmers or AAP’s swift implementation of the three black laws in Delhi, both these parties have betrayed farmers of our country. The 62 crore farmers of the country will never forgive these anti-farmer parties.”

Earlier in the day, Congress MPs from Punjab staged a protest against the AAP government in Punjab over police action against the farmers. Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi met with the Punjab Congress MPs, who are sitting in protest against the Punjab and central governments on the issue of forcible evicting the farmers from the Punjab-Haryana Khanauri and Shambhu Borders in the Parliament campus over the farmers' issue.
