Talking to media persons during his visit to Agra on Wednesday, he said, “It is shameful that even after such atrocities, no representative of the BSP and the state government has cared to meet them.”

“No politics should be seen into Rahul's dharna at Parsaul village. This is a fight of farmers and all politicians --barring BSP -- cutting across party lines, including BJP leaders Rajnath Singh and Kalraj Mishra have extended their support to the farmers' cause," he said.

Slamming the Mayawati government, Varun said the days of BSP government in UP were numbered.

On being asked whether he would visit the farmers in Agra, he said he was in talks with the local leaders.
