Ex-diplomat and saffron party's candidate from the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat, Taranjit Singh Sandhu faced anguish of farmers with black flags, as he voyaged for his poll campaign on Saturday.

Accompanied by BJP leader Amarpal Singh Bony and party workers, Sandhu was campaigning in the Gagomahal village in Ajnala when a group of farmers showed him black flags.

Farmers owing allegiance to the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee also raised slogans against the BJP, saying its candidates will not be allowed to campaign in the villages.

Farmer leader Gurdev Singh Gago Mahal slammed the BJP-led government at the Centre for not accepting the farmers’ demands during the 'Delhi Chalo' march for a legal guarantee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops. He also highlighted the death of a farmer during the ongoing protest.

Former Indian Ambassador to the US Sandhu who joined the BJP last month has been fielded from the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat.

BJP nominee from Faridkot seat Hans Raj Hans had also faced the farmers' ire on April 5 when his poll campaign was disrupted by sloganeering.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha are spearheading the 'Delhi Chalo' march by farmers to press the government to accept their demands, which includes a legal guarantee of MSP for farm produce.

The protesting farmers have been staying put at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana after their march was stopped by security forces on February 13.
