Rahul Gandhi Holds Tractor Rally In Haryana; The Congress Leader Attacks Modi Government On Farm Laws, Anti-Poor Policies

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on October 6 kept up the attack on the Centre over new farm laws, saying the fight against these legislations was not of farmers or labourers alone, but it was "India's fight". Addressing a gathering on the concluding day of his "Kheti Bachao Yatra" which started from Moga district on October 4, Gandhi said that if these measures are implemented, then farmers and labourers will become the "slaves" of a few corporates. He told them that in one or two years their land would be taken over by these few "chosen" corporates. Gandhi gave the reason behind Modi breaking the farmer’s skeleton. "Whether you want to believe it or not, do remember that Rahul and Amarinder Singh once told you that your land will be snatched," he told the gathering where a number of farmers were present along with their tractors. "This is the time to take action. If you wait for six months or one year, then it will be of no use," he told them. The former Congress president said that the loss was not just of farmers, farm labourers and small traders, but it was of the entire country. Gandhi said that if farmers are hit, which he claimed will become a reality with the implementation of the new laws, then India's food security will be finished.
