New Delhi (TIP): Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, February 11,Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Centre’s three new farm laws will “break the spine of farmers”. MoS for Finance Anurag Thakur responded to Gandhi’s barbs and said not even a single Opposition MP could point out the clause in the farm laws that would end APMC mandis.

The farm laws will damage India‘s food security system and end mandis, Rahul Gandhi said. He went on to claim, “The intent of these three laws is to allow industrialists to buy unlimited quantities of foodgrains and hoard them as much as they want.”

Former Congress president, Rahul Gandhi referred to the family planning slogan “Hum do Hamare Do” to allege that the country is being run by only four people.

“The farmers are not going anywhere but will overthrow the government,” Rahul Gandhi added.

Responding to Gandhi’s allegations, BJP leader Anurag Thakur said, “A party ruled the country for five generations but did little for the poor. The poor were eliminated but not poverty.”

“One party misled farmers to further its political interests. But it won’t help,” Anurag Thakur said while asking the Congress to explain why it never implemented the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission during the UPA rule.

Referring to the content of the farm laws, Anurag Thakur said in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, “If Rahul Gandhi can leave Amethi and seek election to Lok Sabha from Wayanad, why farmers are restricted to sell in only one mandi. Farmers should also have an option of choosing mandis of their choice.”

“I know why Rahul Gandhi Ji was talking about Hum Do Humare Do,” Anurag Thakur remarked.
