Uttar Pradesh: BSP, SP oppose farmers' bill
Lucknow/UNI: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Samajwadi Party (SP), the two opposition political outfits in Uttar Pradesh, on Friday opposed the new farmers' bill.
Taking to Twitter, BSP president Mayawati wrote, "Parliament passed two farmers-related bill's without clarifying the doubts over the farmers' concern."
"BSP never supports such bills. The government should know what the farmers want and they should focus on it," she tweeted.
संसद में किसानों से जुड़े दो बिल, उनकी सभी शंकाओं को दूर किये बिना ही, कल पास कर दिये गये हैं। उससे बी.एस.पी. कतई भी सहमत नहीं है। पूरे देश का किसान क्या चाहता है? इस ओर केन्द्र सरकार जरूर ध्यान दे तो यह बेहतर होगा।

Meanwhile, SP President Akhilesh Yadav also tweeted, "When Jawan and now farmers are against the government, now you should know that the days of the government are numbered."
जब जवान भी ख़िलाफ़, किसान भी ख़िलाफ
