A senior state BJP leader admitted that the farmers’ stir has added an element of uncertainty to a host of party plans. If the agitation prolongs, it could impact the party’s prospects in the upcoming parliamentary elections, especially in the rural areas where the party had started to make inroads. “We expect that the SCs and OBCs to support the BJP,’’ he said.“Although our alliance with SAD is on the cards, the farmers’ agitation has obstructed its early fruition. The Akalis may not take any chances to annoy their rural vote bank, especially the peasantry,’’ said another saffron party leader. Senior SAD leader Prem Singh Chandumajra said the prospects of an alliance depended on the evolving situation.
