Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday over the farm laws issue, saying there is a “conspiracy” to take away the lands of the farmers under the guise of the amendments.

The former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh also accused the government of making false promises of doubling their lands.

"We, who do agriculture, clearly understand the conspiracy of grabbing lands of farmers under the guise of farm laws by giving 'jumla' (false promise) of doubling the income. We are struggling as usual with our farmer brothers, so that the structure protecting the MSP, market and agriculture remains intact. BJP is over now,” Yadav said on Twitter.

Farmers, largely from Punjab and Haryana, are agitating against the three new Central agri-marketing laws at the Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders of Delhi.

Yadav had earlier, while expressing his support to the protesters, said if farmers were left to the market and the big players they would never benefit.

The Centre has invited agitating farmer unions for talks on Tuesday. The stir by farmers appeared to intensify despite a strong defence of the legislation by the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has accused the opposition of playing tricks on farmers again through misinformation.
