उत्तर प्रदेश भाजपा ने किसान हित की बात केवल विज्ञापन और बिलबोर्ड तक सीमित कर रखी है।

किसानों को उनके पैसे का भुगतान नहीं हो रहा। बिजली ढंग से आती नहीं मगर उनके बिजली के बिल बढ़ा दिए गए। कर्जमाफी के नाम पर छला गया। और उनका अपमान भी किया जा रहा है।https://t.co/RBARVj9vfC
Taking to Twitter, the Congress general secretary said, "The issue of farmers interest under the Uttar Pradesh BJP (government) has been limited only to advertisements and billboards."
"The farmers are not getting their dues. They do not get proper electricity supply, but their electricity bills have been hiked. They have been cheated in the name of the loan waiver. And they are also being insulted," she alleged.
