In a post on "X" in connection with the ongoing agitation by farmers in Punjab, Kejriwal, whose party is ruling in the state, said farmers have been sitting on dharna and indefinite hunger strike for many days there.

He asserted that "their demands are the same which the central government had accepted three years ago but has not implemented yet."

Accusing the BJP government in the Centre of reneging on promise, the former Delhi chief minister claimed that "the BJP government is not even talking to the farmers."
