Speaking to ANI over the phone, the MoS said: "The viral audio is just a portion from my address to farmers at an event. Ahead of the event, some miscreants had torn the hoardings and posters which had pictures of Bharat Mata and PM Narendra Modi in the area. The speech was with reference to that event."
"At the event, I had said that the people who had torn the hoardings and posters cannot be farmers. I am a farmer too."
"The entire video and audio have not been played. If the entire audio is heard, the real facts will come into the light. I have never said any ill words against the farmers. I am a farmer myself. No farmer can be behind this incident. Some miscreants present among farmers behind the incident," he said.
"When I said that people should know about my history, I meant that I started from District Panchayat and became what I am today. I had challenged the miscreants who were behind the incidents," he clarified.
Teni further alleged that some Khalistani elements were present at the site where the incident happened.
