"Look at the country’s system in the BJP government. When the billionaire friends of BJP come to Delhi, they get a red-carpet welcome. But when farmers come to Delhi, roads are being dug. Delhi made farm laws 2020 against farmers and that was right but when farmers come to Delhi, it becomes wrong?” she said in a tweet.
