Punjab BJP vice-president Harjit Singh Grewal and party secretary Vineet Joshi said the chief minister "failed" to keep his pre-poll promise of announcing a full loan waiver to farmers.
Punjab's farmers have been betrayed and this is the reason they continue to commit suicide despite the chief minister announcing a "partial" loan waiver, the BJP leaders alleged.
They claimed that 160 farmers have ended their lives since the Congress government took over on March 16 this year.
