The Bhagwant Mann government has removed the farmer protest sites that were going on for one and a half years in Punjab. The police force at Khanauri and Shambhu border removed the protesters using water cannons and JCB machines. The Aam Aadmi Party government of Punjab did this work thoughtfully. Two days ago, the government had sent both water cannons and police force to the border. But the government did not want to remove farmer leaders Sarwan Singh Pandher and Jagjit Singh Dallewal from the protest site. The government was afraid that this could spoil the law and order. But now the question is arising that why did the Mann government, which calls itself a well-wisher of the farmers, take this step. Did the government treat the farmers properly? Was it necessary for the government to take this step to save the industries? We are going to tell you the answers to these questions in 3 points.
1. Fear of defeat in Ludhiana by-election
Let us tell you that Kejriwal came to Punjab this week. He was in Ludhiana two days ago. If sources are to be believed, Ludhiana traders told the big leaders of Aam Aadmi Party that if the farmers’ protest continues on Shambhu and Khanauri border, then the party will not get votes in the Ludhiana by-election. Traders say that they are suffering a lot due to the protest. These protests were going on for more than a year on two borders of Punjab. This was causing problems in trade and movement of trucks.
2. Was harming Punjab’s economy
Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that farmers should go to Delhi and protest. Their complaints are mostly with the central government, not with the Punjab government. He said that farmers can go to Delhi and surround and protest, because their complaints are mostly with the central government. The government says that the industries of Punjab were suffering a lot due to the protest. Therefore, the government had to take this step. The government wants that the business in Punjab should run properly and people should not face any problem.
3. BJP did not suffer any loss in Haryana elections
The reason behind this is also being told that BJP did not suffer much loss in Haryana elections. Let us tell you that during the march of farmers to Delhi, tear gas shells and water cannons were used to stop the farmers on the Haryana border. Many farmers were injured in this. All this happened during the farmers’ movement against the agricultural law. It was believed that this would harm the BJP in Haryana, but it did not happen. In Haryana, BJP was again successful in forming the government with full majority.
