Who incited farmers' stir? BJP and Congress trade blows, blame each other

In a video that surfaced online, a Congress MLA was seen asking people to burn an MP police station

The Congress on Saturday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for unnecessarily blaming it for inciting farmers’ protest in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh (MP). The incident came to light after Congress leaders were caught on camera purportedly encouraging party workers and farmers to burn down a police station in Madhya Pradesh.

Farmers in both states have been demanding better prices for their produce and waiver of loans.

In a video that surfaced online, Congress' Shivpuri Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Shakuntala Khatik was apparently seen repeatedly inciting people to accompany her to burn down the nearby police station.
