In Chandigarh, BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh criticized Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), for his policies concerning farmers. Chugh claimed that Punjab is "drowning in debt" under the AAP government. He referenced a letter from Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, accusing the AAP government in Delhi of neglecting farmers and halting central schemes meant for their benefit.
Chugh stated, "The letter written by Shivraj Singh Chouhan has made AAP's anti-farmer stance clear... AAP has exploited farmers for the last 11 years... It's time for Arvind Kejriwal to go yet he's raising questions... AAP's policies have failed... Arvind Kejriwal's government is responsible for Punjab drowning in debt today."
In response, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi criticized the BJP, claiming that the condition of farmers was worse during their rule. She said, "BJP talking about farmers is like Dawood preaching on non-violence. The condition of farmers has never been as bad as it was during BJP's rule. Farmers in Punjab are on hunger strike, tell Modiji to talk to them. Stop doing politics on farmers' issues. Bullets and lathis were fired on farmers during BJP rule."
Chouhan's letter to Atishi expressed concern over the lack of implementation of central schemes for farmers in Delhi, stating, "I am writing this letter to you with great sadness. You have never made appropriate decisions in the interest of farmers in Delhi. The farmer-friendly schemes of the Central Government have also been prevented from being implemented in Delhi by your government. Your government has no sympathy for farmers. Today the farmers of Delhi are upset and worried."
He added, "Due to the non-implementation of many farmer welfare schemes of the Centre by the Delhi Government, the farmer brothers and sisters are being deprived of the benefits of these schemes. I had earlier also written a letter to you and informed you about the problems of the farmers of Delhi, but it is a matter of concern that your government has not resolved these problems."
