Farmers will not tolerate any more betrayal... Rahul targets PM Modi

Rahul Gandhi News: BJP MP and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has recently created a storm in the country's politics by talking about the re-implementation of three agricultural laws. This statement has come at a time when assembly elections are going to be held in many states, and its direct impact is being seen on the election atmosphere. After this controversial statement of Kangana, Congress has launched a scathing attack on BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and now Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also joined this debate.

Rahul Gandhi has asked a direct question to the Prime Minister while sharing a video on the social media platform X, which has further intensified the political stir. He asked who is deciding the policy of BJP - the party MPs or Prime Minister Modi himself? Accusing the BJP of betraying the farmers, Rahul Gandhi said that despite the martyrdom of more than 700 farmers, the BJP is not satisfied. He especially mentioned the farmers of Haryana and Punjab and said that their martyrdom should be respected, and the Prime Minister should clarify his stand on this issue.

सरकार की नीति कौन तय कर रहा है? एक भाजपा सांसद या प्रधानमंत्री मोदी?

700 से ज़्यादा किसानों, खास कर हरियाणा और पंजाब के किसानों की शहादत ले कर भी भाजपा वालों का मन नहीं भरा।

Rahul Gandhi further said that when the Prime Minister withdrew the three agricultural laws during the farmers' movement, even two minutes of silence was not observed in memory of those martyred farmers. This shows how insensitive the government is towards the farmers.

Question on BJP's strategy

Rahul Gandhi, without naming Kangana Ranaut, attacked the BJP and said that the party often tests new ideas in the society. The party leaders first present an idea publicly and then the public reaction to it is studied. He alleged that Kangana's statement is also part of this strategy, where it has been said to bring back the black laws related to farmers.

Demand for answer from the Prime Minister

Rahul Gandhi, in his video message, directly demanded an explanation from Prime Minister Modi. He said that the Prime Minister should clarify whether he is against such statements or is he also intending the same? He warned that if the BJP hatched a conspiracy again and tried to take action against the farmers, then the India Alliance will oppose it unitedly.

Rahul Gandhi made it clear that if any attempt is made to harm the farmers, then Prime Minister Modi will have to apologize once again. This statement points to the circumstances when there was a massive farmer movement against the three agricultural laws, after which the Prime Minister had to apologize and withdraw the laws.

BJP on the backfoot

After this statement of Kangana Ranaut, BJP has been forced to give clarification. Party spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia came in front of the media and said that Kangana's statement is not the official opinion of the party. He said that Kangana was earlier advised to be cautious while making statements on policy matters. However, Kangana's statement has come at a time when the Haryana assembly elections are near, which has created a state of confusion among the BJP leaders.

Reaction of NDA constituents

Not only Congress, but also BJP allies have reacted sharply to Kangana Ranaut's statement. Senior JDU leader KC Tyagi called this statement 'dangerous and insulting' and demanded BJP to take action against Kangana. Apart from this, Chirag Paswan also condemned Kangana's statement and said that this may be her personal statement, not that of the party or the government.

Overall, this statement of Kangana Ranaut can create problems for the BJP just before the assembly elections. The party is not only facing the opposition, but its allies are also expressing dissatisfaction on this matter. Now it will be interesting to see how the BJP deals with this controversy and how Prime Minister Modi reacts to it.
