Bengaluru: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday took up the issue of the controversial Land Bill and assured their commitment to the farmers. On the concluding day of the two-day National Executive meeting, the BJP agreed to reach out to farmers in every village and explain to them all aspects of the bill.
An elaborate power-point presentation on the issue was made at the meet and a booklet titled 'Information to Counter Disinformation (placing facts before the people)' was released as the party sought to rally its cadre around in support of the bill which is pending in Parliament.
"We will not allow the disinformation campaign which is baseless. The party will reveal the facts at every village and tell people that we have come with a law that is in favour of farmers and people, All party members would be going out to explain the public on the contents of the land bill. The intention of the government is to help farmers," Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.
She dismissed reports of any concerns about the Bill within the party and claimed the only concern that the members have is about the disinformation campaign. She also added that the party will engage with allies like Shiv Sena and SAD, which have expressed serious reservations, and added that the party's intention was to take everybody on aboard and not to hurt anyone.
Attacking the opposition, Sitharaman said they have failed to come out with any specific objection over the bill and accused them of opposing it for the sake of opposing. "When we are willing to engage with the opposition then why would not we engage with our own allies," she said.
