Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the land bill, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said farmers will reduce his “56-inch chest” to “5.6 inches” in six months and not an inch of land will be ceded.
He also took on the Vasundhara Raje government over her links with Lalit Modi.
The Congress Vice President’s remarks come at a time when the Government is planning to bring the contentious land bill in the Monsoon session of Parliament beginning next week.
Addressing party workers in Jaipur, Rahul vowed not to allow the passage of the Land Bill in Parliament even though the Modi government has thrice issued ordinances to this effect.
On farmers’ issue, they have issued an ordinance thrice. We will not allow the land bill to be passed in Parliament, you will see. Not a single inch of land will be given.
— Rahul Gandhi, Vice President, Congress
He also said that the current government is only helping Congress with every step that it takes.
He also accused Rajasthan CM of helping a ‘fugitive’ with a lot of black money.
