In a heated political confrontation, Congress has accused AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal of hypocrisy, claiming that his display of empathy for farmers is a smokescreen. Congress alleged Kejriwal was first to implement the farm laws significantly impacting farmers, which has now led to accusations of 'crocodile tears.'
Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav emphasized that Congress' robust backing pressured the BJP government to retract the farm laws. He dismissed Kejriwal's role, suggesting it was Congress that bolstered the farmers' stand and that Kejriwal's recent actions reveal his political duplicity.
In a related political rebuttal, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi urged BJP leaders to converse with the protesting farmers in Punjab. She criticized BJP's approach, appealing to the party to engage constructively rather than offering unchecked rhetoric amidst political fray.
