New Delhi, June 20: The BJP on Wednesday attacked Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his planned 10-day trip to Bengaluru to undergo naturopathy treatment, accusing him of cheating the city's people.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Vijender Gupta also slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief for not holding any meeting with the officials in the Delhi Secretariat.

"The Delhi Chief Minister kept on hiding for nine days at the Lt. Governor's residence. Today he is resting at his home. And from tomorrow (Thursday) he is going on rest for 15 days to Bengaluru. 

"He didn't held a single meeting with the officials and nor he gave water to the thirsty Delhi. This is cheating by AAP to Delhi," Gupta, the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, said in a series of tweets. 

"The main reason for getting up from sit-in-protest is clear now. One has to complement Arvind Kejriwal for his timing to get up from his protest to go to Bengaluru. It was necessary for him to get up from the protest yesterday (Tuesday) as he has to go on leave." 

The BJP leader's remarks came after the news came of Kejriwal going to Bengaluru for treatment for 10 days naturopathy treatment for diabetes as he had been suffering from high sugar levels for the past few days. He has been to Bengaluru for the naturopathy treatment earlier also.

Kejriwal had ended his nine-day long sit-in at Lt. Governor Anil Baijal's office on Tuesday and on Wednesday he cancelled all his scheduled meetings as he was not feeling well. 

The AAP leader along with three of his ministers started camping at the Raj Niwas on June 11 demanding a direction to the IAS officers working in the Delhi administration to end their undeclared strike.

New Delhi, Sep 24: The Congress on Tuesday cited BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's purported remarks on farm laws to allege that the ruling party was making efforts to bring back the three laws that were repealed in 2021, and asserted that Haryana will give a befitting reply to it.

The Congress shared on X an undated video of Ranaut in which she is purportedly saying in Hindi, "Farm laws that have been repealed should be brought back. I think this may get controversial. The laws in farmers' interest be brought back. Farmers should themselves demand this (to bring farm laws back) so that there is no hindrance to their prosperity.

"Farmers are a pillar of strength in India's progress. Only in some states, they had objected to farm laws. I appeal with folded hands that farm laws should be brought back in the interest of farmers."

In a post in Hindi along with the video, the Congress said, "The three black laws imposed on farmers should be brought back: BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has said this. More than 750 farmers of the country were martyred, only then did the Modi government wake up and these black laws were withdrawn."

Now BJP MPs are planning to bring back these laws, the Congress alleged.

"The Congress is with the farmers. These black laws will never return, no matter how hard Narendra Modi and his MPs try," the opposition party said on X.

Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also shared the video of Ranaut on X and said, "'All three farm laws should be brought back': BJP MP Kangana Ranaut. More than 750 farmers were martyred while protesting against the three black farmer laws. Efforts are being made to bring them back."

"We will never let that happen. Haryana will answer first," she said in an apparent reference to the assembly polls in Haryana.

Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera also shared the video on X and said it was the BJP's "real thinking".

"How many times will you deceive the farmers, you two-faced people?" Khera said in a post in Hindi.

The three laws -- Farmer's Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act; The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act -- were repealed in November 2021.

The farmers' protest started at the fag-end of November 2020 and ended after Parliament repealed the three laws. The legislations came into force in June 2020 and were repealed in November 2021.
