Rahul Gandhi attacked the government
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has attacked the government for the farmer movement. He wrote by tweeting that the Annadata are giving dharna on the streets and grounds and the government is giving false speech on TV. Rahul Gandhi did the hard work of the farmers
While stating the debt on everyone, it was written in the tweet that this debt of the farmers will come down by giving them justice and rights, instead of killing them with sticks or running tear gas. Wake up, get down from the chair of ego and think and give the right to the farmer.
Annadata is staging the streets and plains,
And
Speech on TVWe all owe the hard work of farmers.
This loan will come down by giving them justice and rights, not by mistreating them, lathi sticks and tear gas.
Wake up, think from the ego chair and give the right to the farmer.
