Explained : Rahul is misleading farmers: Shah and Its Impact

Taking a dig at the Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, for ‘allegedly’ misleading farmers over the India-US trade deal. Speaking on Saturday, he said that the interests of farmers and fishermen have been fully secured.

Addressing a well-attended BJP rally, Shah alleged that Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, “has started a new tradition of telling lies daily.”

“It’s Rahul Gandhi’s policy to lie, lie loudly, repeat it. But people have identified your lie manufacturing factory,” he said.

The provisions in FTA and the trade deal, apparently the Indo-US one, should be studied carefully, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi “has ensured 100 per cent protection” for Indian farmers and fishermen, Shah said.

He charged that farmers’ interests were “sold off” during the UPA regime headed by the late Manmohan Singh.

The BJP veteran also expressed confidence that in 2029, under PM Modi, the BJP-led NDA will assume power again at the Centre.
