The President of Congress Party Sonia Gandhi addressed the gathering in Kisan Samman rally at Ramlila Maidan, she accused the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi of having no time to clear the problems of farmers.
Sonia declared that congress will become an obstacle to BJP, till it resolves the problems of farmers. To commemorate the victory of congress in forcing the BJP government regarding the land acquisition bill, Ms Gandhi pronounced it as victory to farmers because of congress party.
Though the rally was made to highlight the leadership of party Vice President Rahul Gandhi, the greater resonance was received to the rally because of the word attack of Sonia on Modi.
“The Congress will be an obstacle in their way whenever they stop giving an ear to people’s problems, whenever farmers are not given minimum support price, whenever drought and flood-affected farmers are left at the mercy of God and the price of edible items is not brought down,” said the 68-year-old and energetic leader.
“If development means benefiting a few persons, we will definitely act as a roadblock in such development, farmers are not only Annadaata but also Bhagyavidhata” (not only food-givers but destiny-makers) of the country,” told the Italy born UPA leader.
Rahul Gandhi compared Modi’s “Make in India” with “Take in India”, “Modiji says that there should be Make in India, but there is no place for labourers and farmers in his Make in India. This is not Make in India, this is Take in India.”
