Farmer leader and national spokesperson of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) Rakesh Tikait on Tuesday said that the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre “made India lose against Pakistan” in the recent T20 world cup match. Alleging that “the BJP government can make the Indian team lose if this will bring votes”, Tikait said that the match is not important for this party but only vote is. Tikait’s statement, made in Baghpat on Tuesday, soon went viral on social media.
“I haven’t seen the match but have heard from the villagers that the Modi government did it. This will make some people burst crackers and some people will insult Indian team players. All this was told to me by villagers,” said Tikait.
