Former ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu, contesting from Amritsar on a BJP ticket, on Saturday faced farmers' ire while he was holding a roadshow at Gaggomahal village. Farmers wanted him to answer their questions and showed him black flags as he did not stop his cavalcade, said sources.
Farmers have been seeking a law on minimum support price for crops, among demands. They are sore with the BJP as their key demands have not been fulfilled.
Members of Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ekta-Ugrahan) and other farmers' unions raised slogans against BJP's Faridkot candidate Hans Raj Hans during his roadshow.
