TIL Desk/National/New Delhi-BJP mocked on Rahul Gandhi’s promises for farmers as his “seasonal expression of sympathy in the season of elections” and claimed that while states ruled by it have seen maximum agricultural growth, those by Congress are known for cases of “land-grab”.
The saffron party was also dismissive of the Congress vice president’s pitch for loan-waivers for farmers, claiming that its governments worked to enhance their capability as it cited a CAG report to allege that a Rs 51,000-crore scam occurred during one such waiver during the UPA-I government.
“The Congress vice president, the 46-year-old eternal youth of the India politics has said a few things about farmers…Rahul Gandhi who goes abroad to attain knowledge and concentration, was in the eastern UP today for a seasonal expression of sympathy in the season of elections,”.
Taking a swipe at Gandhi, he said that his “baseless and ridiculous” charges at the Modi government were an expression of his “self-knowledge”, claiming the plight of farmers was an indictment of the close to six decades of Congress governments in the country.
