Addressing a virtual ”jan aakrosh” (people’s anger) rally, Satav said the BJP was in power in the state for 25 years but all sections of society, including farmers and the youth, are unhappy and have realized that voting for the saffron party “is supporting a corrupt regime which believes in divide and rule”.
“A people’s movement to root out the BJP will begin in the state bypolls and continue in the local body polls (scheduled for November-end or December). People have made up their mind to teach the BJP a lesson,” he said.
He also hit out at the Narendra Modi government for new farm laws which would “turn farmers into labourers”.
