Rahul Gandhi slams govt on Budget & farmers issue | Full PC

The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a press conference said that the government should resolve the farmers' issue. He asked: "Why is the government fortifying the place? Are they afraid of farmers? The farmers are the country's strength and the government should talk to them and resolve the issue."

"The impasse is not good for our country and the farmers will not back down. The government must withdraw the farm laws. So, it is better to withdraw them today," he added.

On the issue of Budget, he said, "I expected that the Budget will give support to 99 percent people but this Budget is just for one percent of people. The economy can grow only through consumption. Giving money to the supply side will not start the economy."
