“In the meeting, plans to reach out farmers in poll-bound states will be discussed and a special campaign will be finalised to expose political rivals who are politicising the farmers’ issue and misleading them,” a party functionary said.
BJP chief JP Nadda will address the BJP Kisan Morcha which will hold its national executive meeting on 30 October in Delhi as farmers have been unwaveringly opposing the farm laws and Opposition parties attacking the central government in the Parliament.
The BJP national general secretary (organisation) BL Santosh and Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar will also attend the meeting, presided over by the BJP’s Kisan Morcha national president and MP Rajkumar Chahar.
The meeting apart from the farm laws will also be salient following the Lakhimpur Kheri violence which claimed eight lives including that of four farmers on 3 October. Police have arrested a Union minister’s son for allegedly mowing down farmers, although he and his father had both denied their involvement in the incident.
