A group of local farmers told Digvijay that his family and the party were enjoying power when the farmers’ were stopped from marching towards Delhi and their path was blocked by digging up iron nails. Digvijay met the farmers and tried to give answer to their queries. However, when farmers’ continued raising slogans against him, he left for Kuleri village.

BJP candidate from Hisar Ranjit Chautala witnessed farmers’ anger when he visited Niyana and Kharar Alipur villages in the district. The protesters led by women at Niyana village shouted slogans against Chautala when he reached village community centre for canvassing. The local residents continued shouting slogans against him when he started his speech and due to sloganeering he left the speech and moved for the next village.

At Sarsod village in Hisar’s Barwala assembly segment, the locals asked Ranjit why he did not fulfil his promise of providing solar and tube well connection. Responding to villagers’ queries, Ranjit said he does not remember when he visited the village last time. To which, the locals told him that he visited the village six months ago and made these promises.
