After the controversy surrounding the video describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “arrogant”, Meghalaya’s Governor Satya Pal Malik claimed that the Prime Minister was not “flexible” enough about agricultural laws.
In the video, which is now going viral on social media, Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik speaks about his meeting with Prime Minister Modi over peasant protests. On the video, Malik could be heard saying, “When I recently met the Prime Minister about the farmers’ problems, I had an argument within five minutes. I told him that 500 people had died, and he asked, ‘Do they? died for me? ‘”
Regarding the meeting, Satya Pal Malik told India Todat TV that PM Modi’s stance on the farm laws was very rigid as he was unwilling to do anything about it.

“I’m not saying this as an accusation. His point of view was that he didn’t want to listen and he said he should go to Amit Shah then,” said Satya Pal Malik.
“I tried to explain to the Prime Minister that this is the Sikh community, they are not giving up and now even the Jats have joined them. So this is a very delicate situation. I said they don’t use force against them and don’t send them empty-handed, “added the governor of Meghalaya.
Satya Pal Malik said he did not have the courage to meet the prime minister again after arguing with him during that meeting.
In the viral video, Satya Pal Malik alleged Interior Minister Amit Shah told him the Prime Minister was “mad.” Satya Pal Malik explained his remark and told India Today TV that Amit Shah respected Prime Minister Modi very much and he just said that some people are misleading the Prime Minister.
Satya Pal Malik said the BJP’s image had been damaged due to farmers’ protests and the center should have withdrawn the three farm laws sooner.
“It was difficult for BJP leaders to go into the village. Even a minister could not go to a village to the west of Uttar Pradesh. In Haryana, people didn’t even allow the CM’s helicopter to land, ”said Satya Pal Malik.

Satya Pal Malik said Prime Minister Modi was known as a peasant-friendly leader during his tenure as Prime Minister of Gujarat. “He was for the MSP at the time. I don’t know what happened this time,” said Satya Pal Malik.
“The farmers are not yet satisfied. It would be better to quickly make a decision in favor of the farmers. If the prime minister finds a way out at the earliest, he will have no problems, ”he added.
Satya Pal Malik said he was ready to step down as governor of Meghalaya after speaking about farmers’ problems. “But I was never asked,” he said.
