Central Govt should talk to Punjab farmers unconditionally: Chairman Tikka

Ludhiana: Punjab Medium Industry Development Board Chairman Amarjit Singh Tikka on Sunday, slammed the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central government citing that the Modi government wanted to destroy the farmers and industries of Punjab.
Amarjit Tikka said that by stopping the movement of freight trains, the BJP government has betrayed the industrialists and traders of the Punjab state. He said that where the industrialists are not being able to send manufactured goods to other states, the halt of freight trains also affected supplies of raw materials. He said that the stubborn behaviour of the BJP led Central Government not only destroy industry but would ruin Punjab in all respects. 

Tikka further said that it seems that the BJP government at the Center was not considering Punjab as a part of the country.
Criticising the BJP government for blocking the Rural Development Fund of Punjab, Tikka said that it would result in stopping the development of villages. 

Tikka said that the Center should abandon its stubborn attitude and talk unconditionally. He said that if the farmers’ movement lasts long then this time Diwali would be a loss for all sections. /(November 01)
