At the Kisan-Mazdoor Fateh Rally held in Rajpura, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar, Punjab BJP Working President Ashwani Sharma, Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, former minister Bibi Preneet Kaur, Subhash Sharma, Anil Sareen, Krishan Dev Bhandari, former Finance Minister Manpreet Badal, and Fateh Jang Singh Bajwa were present on the stage.
The massive participation of thousands of farmers and BJP workers made this rally historic. Addressing a massive crowd, Chugh said that the nefarious design of the Kejriwal-Bhagwant Mann duo to loot the farmers of Punjab with the land pooling scheme to help Delhi realtors had been decisively defeated.
The Bhagwant Mann government has met a moral defeat and a big political humiliation. He complimented Punjab farmers for defying the Kejriwal conspiracy tooth and nail forcing him to bite with dust.
The Kisan Mazdoor Fateh Rally in Rajpura, was also addressed by Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar, and Punjab BJP Working President Ashwani Sharma. The rally witnessed the participation of thousands of farmers and a massive gathering of BJP workers and supporters, making it a historic show of strength.
Chugh declared it was a historic victory for Punjab’s farmers and three crore Punjabis. He said the land pooling policy was crafted from the very beginning for AAP’s builder lobby and Kejriwal’s election fund a blatant conspiracy to snatch land from small and marginal farmers.
He condemned the silence of Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain as shameful, noting that neither spoke a single word in support of farmers. Chugh reminded that the Mann government unleashed police atrocities on farmers and even held secret meetings with SHOs and patwaris to intimidate them.
The BJP, he stressed, opposed this black law from day one inside the Assembly, on the streets, through memorandums to the Governor, and across every platform. He asserted that whenever farmers are attacked, the BJP will fight with full force to protect their rights.
He recalled that even the Punjab and Haryana High Court had termed this policy unjust and anti-farmer, questioning why the Mann government rushed into it without assessing environmental and social impact.
Targeting the Congress, Chugh said its suspicious silence proved its tacit support for AAP’s anti-farmer conspiracy. Instead of standing with farmers, Congress gave silent approval to the corrupt agenda of Mann and Kejriwal, which he called the biggest betrayal of Punjab’s food growers.
Chugh contrasted this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Nation First, Farmer First” vision. He highlighted that under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Rs. 20,500 crore has been transferred to 9.7 crore farmers and that the Dhan-Dhaanya scheme is channeling Rs. 24,000 crore annually into boosting productivity in 100 districts.
On Punjab’s situation, Chugh said law and order has collapsed with over 16 serial blasts in the past year, grenade attacks on police stations, and criminals openly challenging the state. He added that Punjab is reeling under a drug epidemic, its prisons have turned into studios for gangsters, and its economy is sinking under Rs. 4 lakh crore debt, with another Rs. 1 lakh crore loan in the pipeline.
Now, GMADA’s assets worth Rs. 20,000 crore are being mortgaged under what he described as a “borrow and squander” policy. He demanded that Bhagwant Mann apologize to the farmers and resign immediately.
Chugh concluded with a warning that Punjab’s farmers are not anyone’s property. The message is clear Punjab’s soil and dignity will be defended at any cost, and the BJP will stand firmly with the farmers in this fight.
