Jaipur, Feb 13 : On Saturday, the second day of his trip here, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi drove a tractor to Rupangarh as hundreds of farmers joined him in a tractor rally.
Gandhi was seen addressing farmers from a stage designed in the shape of a tractor trolley.
Wearing a Rajasthani safa (turban), Gandhi reached the rally venue driving a tractor, with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and state Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra, sitting on the tractor with him.
Addressing the rally here, Gandhi said the implementation of the three farm laws will leave farmers as well as street vendors, small traders and other workers reeling under economic losses.
“Modi ji says that he wants to talk to the farmers. But what does he want to talk about? He should withdraw the laws first and all farmers of the country will talk to him. You are robbing farmers’ homes and are trying to snatch their rights and the right is then being given to ‘Hum Do Hamare Do’,” he further said.
AICC general secretary Ajay Maken and former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot were also present at the rally.
