From the Urdu Press: ‘Rahul must halt Yatra, launch Cong Jodo campaign’, ‘Cynical towards farmers, govt wants privatisation in agriculture’
As the agitating Punjab farm leaders rejected the Narendra Modi government’s offer and decided to resume their“Dilli Chalo” march on Wednesday to push for their various demands, the stage is set for a new round of showdown between the farmer protesters and the BJP dispensation on the eve of the Lok Sabha polls. The Opposition is looking to latch on to this row to boost the narrative of their poll campaign after having got a talking point on corruption in the wake of the Supreme Court’s judgment quashing the electoral bonds scheme. These stories dominated the Urdu dailies over the week, even as they tracked the continuing series of defections from the beleaguered Congress party.
