A rift has widened within the BKU (Ekta Sidhupur) farmer's union following the election of Dalvir Singh Sidhu as the new convener by a rival faction. This group claims no elections have been held since 2017, citing a lack of internal democracy and arbitrary decision-making. The main faction, led by Jagjit Singh Dallewal, denounces the rebel group, asserting it comprises inactive members and that Dallewal was appointed based on merit in 2017. Both sides emphasize the union's commitment to farmer welfare.
