The development came days after Bharatiya Kisan Union’s national president Naresh Tikait suggested a social boycott of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh
BAREILLY: Days after signboards calling for boycott of BJP were put up in Shamli, similar boards came up in Sambhal, stating that the entry of BJP functionaries was restricted in the villages. Police intervened and removed the boards. The police move, however, was condemned by BKU members who said they would now paint walls of their houses and shops with similar messages. “If police can put up iron nails and barbed fences to stop farmers, can’t we put up signboards,” asked BKU members.
