New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the central authorities over the three contentious farm laws on Sunday (March 7).
She alleged that the laws have been made to profit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “rich friends”.
Addressing a ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ in Western Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut district, Vadra stated, “Are the three laws made for your (farmers’) well-being or for the good of Modi ji’s ‘kharabapati’ friends?”
“Lakhs of farmers have been sitting at the border for over 100 days, protesting against the new laws. If this law is made for you, then why are lakhs of you sitting on the border?” she requested.
Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajay Kumar Lallu stated that this was the fifth Kisan Mahapanchayat within the area addressed by Vadra.
Earlier, she had chaired the assembly of UP Congress MLAs in Delhi and mentioned the technique to be adopted to tackle the central authorities on farmer’s points.
The Congress Party is organising Kisan Panchayats in 28 districts of Western Uttar Pradesh to boost a voice in opposition to the farm laws and to assist farmers’ demand to repeal them.
Priyanka Vadra had additionally addressed the Kisan panchayat in Saharanpur which was organised by Congress chief Imran Masood and attended by Lallu and different senior leaders.
