Jaipur, December 26
Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) convener and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal announced on Saturday a BJP-led division of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over the Center’s new agricultural laws.
“I am not staying with Fevicol with the NDA. Today, I am separating from the NDA,” Beniwal said while addressing a farmers’ demonstration in Shahjahanpur in Alwar district.
On Friday, Beniwal had announced a march to Delhi in support of farmers’ organizations staging a protest against the contentious laws.

Rajasthan farmers have been protesting in Shahjhanpur near the Rajasthan-Haryana border on the Jaipur-Delhi highway for 14 days.
Beniwal claimed that his coronavirus test was “rigged to keep him out of the Lok Sabha when the three agricultural laws were passed.”
“If he had been there, he would have broken all three laws,” he said, stating that he left the NDA and would also resign from Lok Sabha if necessary. TNS / PTI
