Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal tweeted “The AAP fully supports the Bharat Bandh call made by farmers on December 8. AAP workers across the country will support it peacefully. There is an appeal to all countrymen that everyone should support the farmers and participate in it.”
AAP convenor and Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said that AAP leaders and volunteers in all States and districts will stand in support of the farmers' Bharat Bandh. “This is not a battle of the farmers but this is a battle of all of us, if the farmers get affected due to these anti-farmer laws by the BJP then the country will be affected,” Mr. Rai said.
He appealed to all the citizens of the country to stand in support of the farmers’ Bharat Bandh on December 8.
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Ch. Anil Kumar also said that the Congress party fully supports the Bhart Bandh. Mr. Kumar said that the three agriculture reform laws passed by the Modi government will ruin the farmers who are already in debt.
He added that the Congress workers will “gherao” the BJP headquarters on December 8 in support of the farmers.
