BJP leader Amit Malviya on Monday launched a sharp attack on Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, accusing him of insulting farmers and displaying the party\u2019s \u201clegendary insensitivity” that, he said, has driven farmers into despair for decades.<\/p>\n

Sharing a video clip on X, Malviya wrote: \u201cNext time Rahul Gandhi or Congress pretend to speak for farmers, remind them of this, their own President Mallikarjun Kharge mocked farmers\u2019 pain and told them \u2018not to whine and seek publicity all the time.\u2019 This is the legendary insensitivity of Congress that pushed farmers to despair for decades.”<\/p>\n

The BJP IT cell chief contrasted this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s initiatives, adding: \u201cIt took Prime Minister Modi to usher in a real revolution, helping farmers diversify, double their incomes, protect crops against seasonal risks, and embrace modern farming techniques. Congress mocked, PM Modi delivered.”<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also accused Kharge of \u201cdisrespecting” farmers. Speaking to ANI, he alleged, \u201cYesterday, a farmer expressed his pain to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge and Kharge ji told him to run away. This shows their attitude towards the farmers. Congress did not even implement the Swaminathan Commission report for 8 years. Thousands of farmers have died by suicide in Karnataka\u2026 Congress is against the farmers.”<\/p>\n

Poonawalla further cited a viral video of Congress MP Tariq Anwar, who was carried on villagers\u2019 shoulders during a flood inspection in Bihar\u2019s Katihar, to argue that Congress leaders remain out of touch with ground realities.<\/p>\n

Terming it a \u201csense of entitlement,” the BJP leader came down heavily on Anwar, asking if he needs a \u201cVVIP protocol” in flood-affected areas too.<\/p>\n

In a social media post on X, Poonawalla wrote, \u201cSense of entitlement of Congress. Even in flood-affected areas they want VVIP protocol? Kharge ji insults farmers. Congress MP Tariq Anwar mocks flood relief \u2013 sits on the shoulders of people while \u201ctouring\u2019 flood-affected areas. Congress MP in VVIP mode. Rahul Gandhi in Vacation Mode. AAP in hiding Mode. Only PM Modi in work mode.”<\/p>\n
