BJP candidates continued to face farmers' ire in Punjab with party nominees Hans Raj Hans and Dinesh Babbu Tuesday witnessing protests during campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.

Hans is the BJP candidate from the Faridkot constituency while Babbu is in the fray from Gurdaspur seat.

The BJP candidates and leaders have been facing protests from farmers when they are campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.

As part of protests, farmers ask questions to BJP leaders and show them black flags for not agreeing to their demands.

A group of farmers on Tuesday posed questions to Hans in Gidderbaha where he was canvassing.

Farmers sought the BJP candidate's reply on erecting barricades by the Haryana government at the border points and firing of tear gas shells at farmers who wanted to head towards Delhi in February in support of their demands.

In Gurdaspur, farmers asked Babbu why "force" was used against protesters who were moving towards the national capital as part of 'Delhi Chalo' protest.

Babbu replied that the BJP always stands by farmers and urged them to vote for the party.
