The political skirmish between the BJP and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) intensified as Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan criticized the AAP-led Delhi government for allegedly denying farmers central scheme benefits. This dispute arises ahead of the Assembly polls, escalating tension over farmers' welfare in the capital.
Responding fiercely, AAP's Chief Minister Atishi accused the BJP of neglect, urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to engage with farmers on hunger strikes in Punjab. The AAP slammed BJP's central government for attempting to reintroduce repealed farm laws through alleged policy loopholes, stirring further political controversy.
Chouhan's allegations highlight the Delhi government's failure to implement important central schemes, depriving farmers of crucial resources. With state elections looming, the debate over farmers' welfare and policy interpretations remains a focal point of contention between the BJP and AAP.
