BJP leader Amit Malviya on Monday launched a sharp attack on Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, accusing him of insulting farmers and displaying the party’s “legendary insensitivity” that, he said, has driven farmers into despair for decades.Sharing a video clip on X, Malviya wrote: “Next time Rahul Gandhi or Congress pretend to speak for farmers, remind them of this, their own President Mallikarjun Kharge mocked farmers’ pain and told them ‘not to whine and seek publicity all the time.’ This is the legendary insensitivity of Congress that pushed farmers to despair for decades.”The BJP IT cell chief contrasted this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiatives, adding: “It 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.”Earlier in the day, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also accused Kharge of “disrespecting” farmers. Speaking to ANI, he alleged, “Yesterday, 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… Congress is against the farmers.”
