'Will Rethink About Our Alliance With NDA If Farm Laws Are Not Revoked', Hanuman Beniwali On Farmers' Protest

Hanuman Beniwali expressed his discontent with the Centre's farm laws and said that they will think about continuing support to NDA (National Democratic Alliance) if the farm laws are not revoked.

BJP Rajasthan Ally and the national convener of the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party, Hanuman Beniwali has appealed the Central government to take the three farm laws back. In a letter written to the Union Home Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Amit Shah, Hanuman Beniwali expressed his discontent with the Centre's farm laws and said that they will think about continuing support to NDA (National Democratic Alliance) if the farm laws are not revoked. Later taking it to his official Twitter account, Beniwal tagged Shah saying "in view of the feeling of the ongoing farmers' movement in the country, the recently introduced 3 bills related to agriculture should be immediately withdrawn." "The power of RLP is farmers and jawans, so if prompt action is not taken in this matter, then I will have to rethink on being a partner of NDA in the interest of farmers," Hanuman Beniwal added.

Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Rajasthan, and other states have raised voice against the three farm bills. The protesters have gathered at the border of the national capital and threatened to block the roads to Delhi from five entry points: Sonipat, Rohtak, Jaipur, Ghaziabad-Hapur, and Mathura. With the massive protest going on in Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met at the House of BJP President JP Nadda on Sunday to hold deliberations over the farmers’ protest against the three central farm laws. This was followed by a second meeting between the Home Minister and Agriculture minister on Monday morning. Last week on Saturday, Shah said that the government is ready to discuss every problem and demand, but put forward a condition asking the farmers to move to Burari grounds and continue their protests there, to which the farmers refused to call the grounds as open jail.
