PM thinks he can tire out farmers, says Rahul

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday stated Prime Minister Narendra Modi doesn’t respect farmers and accused him of making an attempt to tire them out as they protest towards the three new farm legal guidelines.

Leading a protest within the capital as a part of a nationwide marketing campaign by his social gathering, he stated the farm legal guidelines will end farmers and is meant to assist a handful of industrialists. He stated farmers have understood that their freedom and rights are in peril and added that if their rights are allowed to be snatched away at present, the center class would be the subsequent in line. “If we don’t stop this here, this will go on,” he stated.

“Look at the media, IT, retail, power, look at entire India… you will see only 4-5 people. There are 4-5 big businessmen and Modi… and no one else. No farmers, no workers, no other businessmen… Airport, court, everything is being run by these five people and who is allowing them to run these – Narendra Modi,” he stated. Rahul stated the Prime Minister thinks “he can tire out the farmers”. “…he thinks in 10 days, 15 days or 20 days… they will all go back… because he does not have the basic respect for the farmers. He thinks the farmers will run away if they are forced to sit for 10, 15, 20, 30 days… Modiji… you cannot scare the farmers of India.”

He stated the federal government’s talks with farmer unions are delaying ways.

In Haryana, a number of Congress leaders had been detained as they approached the Raj Bhavan as a part of the social gathering’s nationwide protests towards the brand new legal guidelines.

“The arrest of Congressmen who took to the streets to support the annadata on Kisan Adhikar Diwas shows the dictatorial mindset of the BJP-JJP government,” former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda stated.

In Lucknow, Congress employees led by state social gathering chief Ajay Kumar Lallu had been allegedly taken into custody whereas they had been making an attempt to march in the direction of the Raj Bhawan.

A senior police officer denied this, saying they had been solely shifted to a spot earmarked for the agitation to keep up legislation and order.
