Here's what SAD's Bikram Majithia had to say on Bhagwant Mann's meeting with the farmers

"The CM's body language and attitude yesterday was very unbecoming of a CM. In the last three years, this govt has not fulfilled any promises made to the farmers. They are backing out from every promise have made, including promising MSP to farmers. They make promises and make u-turns on them. The CM's behaviour in the public domain is not right. All is not well. I am repeating that he needs medical help and support. Even the Speaker had asked him if he had drunk and come to the Assembly. Even when he was MP, his fellow MPs had complained about him...Today, when the farmers are asking the CM to fulfil the promises he made, the CM is taking action on them...Yesterday's incident was immature and shameful. I condemn the police action being taken today. Bahgwant Mann and AAP should apologise to the farmers and release them," says Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Majithia on Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann's meeting with farmer leaders.
