Ahead of Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Mandsaur on Wednesday, the party on Tuesday accused Narendra Modi government of being anti-farmer and said the Congress chief will meet the families of the farmers killed in police firing last year.
The party also hit out at the government for putting national security at stake, saying the soldiers were now being asked to stitch their own uniform. “This government is anti-farmer, anti-poor and is also putting the security of the country at risk because of its wrong policies,” said Congress leader Mohan Prakash.
“The farmers of the country are in distress. They are on strike for the past five days. They are disturbed for the past four years because prices of whatever items they need to buy have doubled. And, whatever they produce and sell, their prices have halved. But Modi government didn’t get time to address these issues in the past four years.”
