“I went on November 26 and came back today to my home. A couple of days later I will go back again. All AAP MLAs from Punjab have been visiting the dharna sites and have been helping farmers in our private capacity,” said Sandhwan.
He added that the MLAs take care of any requirements of the farmers pertaining to toilets, water supply, sanitation and medicines and liaison officers have been deputed to deal with the Delhi government for any requirements.
“We had also gone to Burari and set up kitchens initially. At the Tikri and Singhu borders, the state in-charge, Jarnail Singh, and Delhi Jal Board Chairman Raghav Chadha have been appointed nodal officers. We have also been running a permanent langar at the Guru Teg Bahadur Memorial. We are getting a lot of support from Haryana farmers; financially, morally, tactically,” said Sandhwan.
