Crossing all limits of decency-Nadda accuses Amrinder Singh

BJP chief JP Nadda ripped into Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, accusing his government of being responsible for the situation. Singh's government had provided support to protesting farmers despite the intentions of the central government and "directions of the Supreme Court".  "In my view you are fully responsible for the unfortunate situation," he wrote in an open letter, which, he said, was response to  Singh's letter that he was yet to receive.

On Sunday, Singh had written an open letter to Nadda, expressing concern over the continued suspension of goods trains, which is set to cut the supply lines to the state.  The supply of coal is already running low in the state, which can lead to a power crisis and the farmers are worried about the possible shortage of fertilisers and essential items.  

Singh and the Congress, he added, have openly encouraged agitations "crossing all limits of decency and propriety" against the farm laws, brought by the government in farmers' interest. The Punjab government, he wrote, had added "fuel to the fire" by "openly declaring that you will not lodge any FIR against the agitators, even if they indulge in road dharnas, railway tracks blocking". Asserting that BJP keeps the farmers in high esteem, Nadda wrote that the party and the government is always committed to take all positive steps for their betterment.
