Oppn leaders spreading disinformation about farm laws amounts to 'criminal conduct': Vijayvargiya

On exit of Shiromani Akali Dal (S) from NDA over controversial farm laws, he said party could t explain to farmers in Punjab agricultural reforms and bowed to pressure.

"I am of view that with President signing three farm bills, spreing disinformation against m falls in category of criminal conduct, even if it is Congress leer Rahul Gandhi or West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee," Vijayvargiya told reporters.

If opposition is misleing people on se laws, it also amounts to criminal conduct, he said.

"People won't forgive you," he ded.

On S's exit from NDA, Vijayvargiya said, "y could t properly explain to farmers of ir state about bills and bowed to pressure. H y explained properly to farmers about bills, unrest in Punjab farm sector could have been avoided." Parliament passed Farmers' Produce Tre and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2020 during recently concluded Monsoon Session. Soon after, President granted his assent to bills.

laws seek to liberalise agriculture sector and allow farmers to sell ir produce anywhere in country. Targeting West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), Vijayvargiya, who is also BJP general secretary in-charge for state, said party will t win even 100 seats in assembly elections next year.

"Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is only concerned about her chair and her party and doesn't care about country," he said.

On Hathras incident, BJP leer exuded confidence that truth will be brought out in case. It was a shameful incident, he said.

"I have full faith in (UP CM) Yogi ityanath. He will never give protection to criminals in his state," Vijayvargiya said, ding that politics should t be done over this incident.

He said CBI probe into incident will bring out truth. A 19-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly raped in a vill in Hathras by four men on September 14.
