Just like farmers farm the land, you farm the sea. Farmers have a Ministry in Delhi, you don t.

Union Minister Giriraj Singh invited Rahul Gandhi to visit his ministry to check new projects for the fishery sector.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday demanded a separate ministry to address the grievances of the fishing industry. Interacting with the fishermen community during his visit to Puducherry, the former Congress president sought to compare farmers with fishermen and said the government must have a separate department to look into the issue concerning the community. The government passed 3 Bills against farmers, the backbone of a nation. You must be wondering why am I talking about farmers at meeting of fishermen. I consider you as farmers of sea. If farmers of land can have ministry in Delhi, why is that farmers of sea don t have the same, Rahul Gandhi said.Â
