Rahul gandhi slams BJP: Former Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on the issue of farmers. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has raised a serious issue and said that India is called an agricultural country and the farmer is considered to be the backbone of the country’s economy. Today this farmer is in crisis due to dependence on foreign fertilizers. He launched a scathing attack on the policies of the Modi government through a post on Facebook.
Dependence and new crisis on China
Rahul Gandhi said that India asks for 80% of its needs “specialty fertilizer” from China and now China has stopped this supply. Already, farmers were struggling with lack of fertilizers like urea and DAP, now this Chinese supply crisis has increased their difficulties.
Question on the preparation of Modi government
Rahul Gandhi alleges that the government already knew that the supply of China could stop at any time, but despite this no alternative arrangement was made. There was no policy, nor efforts were made to promote domestic production.
Publicity vs ground reality
The Congress MP lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that he is engaged in printing his pictures on fertilizer sacks, while the farmer of the country is becoming dependent on ‘Made in China’. He questioned that now the farmer will be fascinated by others on his own land?
PM Modi was targeted for GST
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi recently called the GST ‘economic punishment’ imposed on the poor, while launching a sharp attack on the Modi government at the Center. He called it a ‘cruel weapon’, not tax reforms, but a ‘cruel weapon’ benefiting corporate houses. Rahul Gandhi had said that the GST of the Modi government was not a ‘Good and Simple Tax’, but there was a system that has been prepared to break the back of small traders, shopkeepers, farmers and MSME sectors of the country.
