Attacking BSP chief Mayawati for hobnobbing with rich builders and other big companies to fulfill her greed for money, Congress (I) General Secretary Rahul Gandhi had said that she ignored plight of farmers while forcibly acquiring their lands. For the farmers, land was their only source of livelihood which she scornfully ignored, Rahul Gandhi had said while addressing public meetings in Ghaziabad and Jewar (Noida) recently as part of his Congress campaign.
Farmers were not informed that their land was being acquired; they came to know of it only when builder’s bulldozer reached the farmers’ fields, further said Rahul Gandhi. When Rahul Gandhi had challenged this unjust policy, Mayawati changed the land acquisition policy overnight. Now she is opposing new Land Acquisition Bill in the Parliament to harm the farmers.
“While Congress (I) led UPA government has made provision of fertiliser subsidy for farmers, Mayawati has not made that available to the farmers. Similarly while highbred seeds have not been provided to the farmers to increase agricultural yield, Mayawati has sold state owned sugar mills thus putting the farmers at the mercy of private sugar mill owners” said Rahul Gandhi.
Reiterating that that the only way to come out of this bad situation was to help the Congress to forma state government, Rahul Gandhi appealed to the people to support Congress (I). The Congress leader also had assured that his party would provide responsible government which would follow pro-farmer policy.
