BJP will change Constitution if it comes back to power: Sanjay Singh
Alleging that the RSS has no faith in the Constitution of the country, the MP said, “That is why they want to change Baba Saheb's Constitution. They want to shred it into pieces.”
Claiming 56 farmers have committed suicide in Punjab during past three months, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday demanded special session of the Punjab Assembly to discuss the issue.
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Phoolka met the Speaker Rana KP Singh to demand the same and informed him that in last 10 days seven farmers have committed suicide and total 56 farmers have committed suicide since March.
The legislator from Dakha, Phoolka also informed the Speaker that on Sunday he visited two villages in Bathinda and Mansa to meet the aggrieved families.

The AAP leader said in Kot Guru village of Bathinda district, he was informed that four farmers have committed suicide during last three months. Two of them belong to Dalit family. All these 4 farmers have taken land on lease, but their cotton crop was destroyed. They got a meager compensation and had to take loan to pay the rent of the land.
Phoolka was also informed by the villagers that there is a huge scam in distribution of compensation. Many farmers whose crop is destroyed were not given compensation, whereas, many others close to Shiromani Akali Dal(SAD) leaders who did not even suffer any loss were given huge amount.
He requested to Speaker that as the suicide cases are happening everyday, a special session of Punjab Assembly should be called at the earliest to discuss the issue and to find a solution to stop these suicide. Phoolka has also written a letter to demand the special session of the Assembly.
