Bharatiya Janata Party General Secretary Dushyant Gautam on Saturday alleged that the Congress wanted to convert peaceful farmer protests into “bloodshed” as he accused the Punjab government of orchestrating an attack on saffron workers in the state, reported PTI.
“If there is any bloodshed or loss [of life] in the coming days, then the Congress and the left parties will be responsible,” Gautam told a press conference. The BJP leader claimed that Congress’ Ludhiana MP Ravneet Singh Bittu had himself said in a statement that the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the new agricultural laws will not end, “and to achieve our objective we can even pile up bodies, shed blood and go to any extent”.

Bathinda, December 26
Facing a backlash from farmers over the three agriculture laws, state BJP president Ashwani Sharma today addressed a meeting of the party workers in a private hotel in the city amid tight security.
Sharma first went to the residence of BJP leaders Kanchan Jindal and Ravinder, who sustained injuries in the clash between farmers and party workers on Friday, and inquired about their wellbeing.
After yesterday’s widespread protest against the BJP, the Bathinda police today made an elaborate arrangement with the heavy deployment of personnel on all the ways leading to the hotel, which was cordoned off with barricades. SSP Bhupinderjit Singh Virk and civil administration officials, including ADC and tehsildar, were present at the spot. Farmers under the banner of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) protested at some distance from the hotel and raised slogans against the BJP.
