NEW DELHI: Sharing an old video of Rahul gandhispeech in Lok Sabha in which he defends the need for farmers get rid of the middlemen and sell your products directly to the industry, president of BJP JP Nadda on Sunday he accused the Congress leader of playing politics over the ongoing farmers’ protest.
the video clip is from Gandhi’s speech in the Lok Sabha in 2015.
“What is this magic happening Rahul ji. Now he opposes what he had defended before It has nothing to do with the interests of the country or the farmers. You just have to play politics. But this is your bad luck that your hypocrisy doesn’t work. The people of the country and the farmers have recognized their double standards, ”Nadda tweeted in Hindi along with the video clip.
Congress has backed farmers’ protest against three agricultural marketing laws that give farmers the option to sell their produce directly to private actors.
Farmers have argued that these laws are intended to weaken existing government support for the agricultural sector, a charge the Center denies.
In his speech, apparently made at the last Lok Sabha when he was a deputy of AmethiGandhi is heard saying that a farmer during his trip to UP asked him to explain the “magic” behind a package of chips It costs Rs 10, while farmers sell potatoes at Rs 2 / kg.
When asked what they thought was the reason for this, the farmer said that the factories are located far away from them and if they could sell their products directly there they would get all the money without the middlemen getting any cuts, Gandhi is heard saying in short video posted by Nadda.
That was the idea behind a food park, and this is somehow what farmers and workers in Amethi and UP Districts 10-12 have been fighting for, he says in the video.
