Jaipur: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to “hand over” the entire agriculture business to his “two friends”.

Addressing farmers at Rupangarh in Rajasthan, he said 40 per cent people of the country are stakeholders of the farming business.

“It is the business of 40 per cent people, which includes farmers, small and medium businessmen, traders, labourers. Narendra Modi wants to give this entire business to his two friends. This is the objective of the farm laws,” he claimed but did not name anyone.

“Narendra Modi said that he is giving options but the options are: hunger, unemployment and suicide,” he alleged.

Gandhi, wearing a Rajasthani safa or turban, reached the rally venue driving a tractor with Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and state Congress chief Govind Singh Dotsra sitting with him on both sides.

The former Congress chief spoke while standing on a platform made of two tractor trolleys while the farmers sat or stood on tractor trolleys around the platform.

AICC general secretary Ajay Maken and former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot were also present with Gandhi.

  1. So horribly wrong. So so wrong. Let’s keep condemning our farmers to the same useless system that drove them to suicide. What baffles is me is that many people seem to be believing Rahul’s nonsense. But then don’t let facts come in the way of useless socialism. Laal jhanda ooncha rahe hamara. India voted PV Narasimha Rao out after his reforms, voted Vajpayee out after his reforms, now we also might look at the possibility of Modi being voted out for these reforms. If indian voters indeed prove 3 times in a row that they will throw out the reformers and keep voting for the dynasty, then may God protect this land. (they have the right to vote as they wish) ,
