BJP MLA enters Assembly with basket full of locusts

A BJP legislator entered the Rajasthan Assembly building with a decorated basket containing locusts here on Friday to protest against the Congress-led government’s alleged apathy towards the state’s farmers who have suffered crop losses due to locust attacks. The innovative and unconventional form of protest by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Bihari Lal caught everyone’s attention as soon he entered the Assembly building with a basket on his head. However, all were left stunned after he showed the basket –which looked more like a ‘corporate gift’ – containing locusts that have been creating havoc on the agricultural fields in western Rajasthan. Farmers in 11 out of 33 districts of Rajasthan have suffered huge losses due to what is being said as the worst locust attacks on agricultural fields in the last three decades. (IANS)
