'Modi government crushed farmers under vehicle': Mallikarjun Kharge attacks BJP

New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday accused the Modi government of not fulfilling its promises on MSP, compensation and withdrawal of cases against farmers who participated in the protests against the three central agri laws. The Congress had expressed solidarity with farmers as they marked on Saturday the first anniversary of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement withdrawing the three farm laws. 

“The Modi government, which crushed the farmers under vehicle, did not give cost plus 50 percent Minimum Support Price, did not give compensation to 733 martyred farmers and didn’t even withdraw the case against them,” Kharge said in a tweet in Hindi. “Last year, on these assurances, the farmers had celebrated Kisan Vijay Diwas,” he said.

किसानों को गाड़ी के नीचे कुचलवाने वाली मोदी सरकार ने किसानों को

 Cost+50% MSP नहीं दिया

शहीद 733 किसानों को मुआवज़ा भी नहीं दिया और

उनके ख़िलाफ़ केस भी वापस नहीं लिया

इन्हीं आश्वासन पर पिछले साल किसानों ने आज ही के दिन “किसान विजय दिवस” मनाया था! pic.twitter.com/VgpNz6d9vw — Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) November 20, 2022

Kharge also shared a video montage of the farm laws protests. On Saturday, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in Buldhana district of Maharashtra paid tributes to “over 700 farmers who were martyred” during the stir.
