Farmers seek 10 assembly seat tickets from Haryana Congress

Gurnam Singh Charuni, leader of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni), and fellow farmer leader Ramesh Dalal issued a joint statement on Sunday, calling on the Congress party to allocate a minimum of 10 assembly seats to the farmer leaders.

 

These individuals have been actively protesting against the incumbent BJP government for the past nine and a half years.  

 

Speaking to the press in Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar, Dalal, and Charuni asserted that farmers have been steadfastly demonstrating against the BJP administration on the streets. 

 

“The Congress should give 10 out of 90 assembly seats to farmers, who were booked and beaten up by police during protests,” the statement cites. 

 

They accused the Congress party of attempting to leverage this grassroots movement to their advantage in the forthcoming assembly elections.
