Squarely blaming the Congress party especially Gandhi family for the plight of farmers in the country, the Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal today said that the sudden concern of Gandhi scion Mr. Rahul Gandhi towards the farmers was merely a ‘political stunt’. Interacting with the media persons on the sidelines of Sangat Darshan programme in Lambi assembly segment, the Chief Minister said that the long spell of Congress party’s misrule under the Gandhi family had broken the back bone of the farmers. He said that the anti – farmer stance of the Congress and its regressive policies ruined the farmers of the country, who were now reeling under mounting debt. Likewise, Mr. Badal said that the ever escalating costs of farm inputs coupled with non-remunerative MSP of the crops have rendered agriculture as non profitable venture. However, the Chief Minister said that it was ironic that those people who were responsible for agonies of the farmers were now shedding crocodile tears over the crisis aroused due to their ill-conceived policies. Mr. Badal said that sole purpose of entire gimmick of Mr. Rahul Gandhi during his recent tours to the state was to score brownie points before media rather than solving any issue of farmers. “Now after being badly rejected by the voters you are showing concern for the farmers but where were you when your own government was taking anti farmers decisions”, he asked Mr Rahul Gandhi.
