The Congress leader recently asked party workers to donate money and liquor to farmers protesting against the Centre’s farm laws at several border points of Delhi for over two months.
Dismissing the remarks by Haryana Congress leader Vidya Rani on extending support to farmers agitation by providing liquor, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Monday said that such people don t have anything to do with the farmers movement. What is the use of liquor here? I don t know why she s making such comments. Such people don t have anything to do with the movement. It s wrong and shouldn t be done, Tikait told reporters on Congress Vidya Rani s remark that stoked controversy. They can distribute whatever they want to in their (Congress) own movement, Tikait added.
This comes after the Vidya Rani on Monday has urged party workers to strengthen the farmers agitation and said they can contribute be it money, vegetables, liquor .
