Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who just returned from a two-month absence from public life, said the new land bill is not only against the interests of farmers but also the tribals at the 'kisan rally' at Ramlila grounds in New Delhi
Here are his top 10 quotes from the event:
- I tell you how Modi ji won the election. He took loans of thousands of crores from big industrialists from which his marketing was done. How will he pay back that loan now.
- He wants to weaken the farmers, then snach their land and give it to his industrialist friends.
- Through the Gujarat model, Modi ji showed that he can snatch the land of farmers quite easily and convinced the industrialists that he can do the same in the whole country.
- This is Modi's model -- weaken the foundation, then attach a ladder to the building, paint it and show to the world that the building is shining.
- Today the farmers and the labourers feel that the Government of India has forgotten them.
- Farmers are scared due to the fact that the BJP is trying to change that bill.
- The government should function for the poor. The farmers have built the nation with their sweat and blood.
- The government should function for the poor. The farmers have built the nation with their sweat and blood.
- The Congress will firmly stand with farmer and workers, wherever their land is being snatched.... As we won in Niyamgiri and as we brought the land bill in 2013, we will win this also.
- We do not want an India where few people get everything and farmers get nothing. The Congress will fight for you.
- Where have those people gone, who used to make pep talks during elections. It was the same prime minister, who used to say that he wants to take the country forward by taking along everybody.
- This law is going to damage not only farmers but also tribals.... Is this their intent and policy?
