New Delhi [India], November 12 (ANI): Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that as soon as INDIA alliance government is formed in Maharashtra they would try to provide right price to the soybean and cotton farmers.
He was scheduled to address an election campaign at Chikhli in Maharashtra but due to technical problems in the aircraft he could not attend the rally.
Rahul Gandhi said, “I was scheduled to come to Chikhli (Maharashtra) but due to technical problems in the aircraft, I could not come there this morning. I would like to apologise to you. I was scheduled to have a public rally today and interact with soybean farmers. Soybean and cotton farmers face a lot of issues. I know that the BJP doesn’t provide right price to these farmers. As soon as INDIA alliance’s government comes to power, we will try to find out a solution for you.”
Earlier Rahul Gandhi reiterated that the INDIA alliance will bring changes in Maharashtra too with their promised ‘five guarantees’.
Rahul Gandhi in an attack on the BJP-led NDA alliance said that they are levelling “false allegations” against Congress for not fulfilling its promises.
In a social media post on X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “In July 2022, PM Modi misled the country by calling Congress’s public welfare schemes ‘free revdi’. Yet they are campaigning in every state and the country by pasting their slips on the guarantees given by the Congress – and then levelling false allegations against the Congress for not fulfilling its promises. Modiji, our challenge is, come to Karnataka, roam around and see, investigate – we have fulfilled every promise. Congress’ schemes in Karnataka have changed the fate of crores of women, youth, farmers and the poor. We have also fulfilled promises in Telangana and Himachal. And now in Maharashtra too, INDIA is going to bring big changes with its 5 guarantees.”
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23.
In the 2019 assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, the Shiv Sena 56, and the Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP secured 122 seats, the Shiv Sena 63, and the Congress 42. (ANI)
