We will not allow the government to harm the interests of farmers: Rahul Gandhi

Speaking on Modi-government’s Land Ordinance in Parliament today Rahul Gandhi said the NDA government has systematically dismembered UPA’s Land Bill by striking out or diluting key provisions of the Bill vis-à-vis Consent clause, Social Impact Assessment & the provision that guaranteed land would be returned to the farmer if project is not initiated on acquired land within 5-years.

The Congress Vice President said, “The farmers of our country are sitting on a veritable gold mine i.e. their land, whose price will appreciate immensely in the coming years. This government wants to snatch this gold mine and hand it over to their Corporate friends.”

He further said the Congress party will not allow this government to harm the interests of farmers for the benefit of few crony capitalists. “If we are not able to stop you in Parliament, we will stop you in the streets, but will not allow this ‘Suit-Boot’ business to go on,” he warned the BJP-government
