Rahul Gandhi is back with a vengeance. The Congress vice-president will speak in Parliament on 'Agrarian Crises' at 4 pm today.

Congress top brass on Sunday launched an all-out attack on the government with vice-president Rahul Gandhi declaring that he would be in the vanguard against any move to hurt farmers' interests and accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of bringing the land bill to pay back huge loans taken from corporates in the Lok Sabha polls.

While Congress president Sonia Gandhi accused the government of rubbing salt on the wounds of the farmers hit hard by unseasonal rains and hailstorm, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the new land bill was nothing but an attempt to weaken the 2013 Act that was aimed at empowering the farmers.
