New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the central government over the three contentious farm laws on Sunday (March 7).
She alleged that the laws were made to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “rich friends”.
Addressing a ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ in Western Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut district, Vadra said, “Are the three laws made for your (farmers’) well-being or for the good of Modi ji's ‘kharabapati’ friends?”
“Lakhs of farmers have been sitting at the border for over 100 days, protesting against the new laws. If this law is made for you, then why are lakhs of you sitting on the border?” she asked.
