Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi met family members of Kishor , Kamble, a farmer who committed suicide, in Amravati, Maharashtra, today. A resurgent Rahul returned to Delhi after a 56-day hiatus to take on the government over the land bill and crop procurement. He was in Punjab on Tuesday meeting farmers on crop procurement and spoke in Parliament on the issue yesterday.

Rahul made a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday, targeting the PM's visits abroad, and said, "The PM is visiting India, let him also visit Punjab and see the situation for himself."

He took another swipe at the BJP saying, "Does the farmer not make in India?"

Rahul today, began a 15-km padyatra in the Amravati district in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, during which he is meeting the families of farmers who committed suicide.

Gandhi, who reached Nagpur on Wednesday night, left on Thursday morning for village Gunji to begin the foot march dubbed as sanvad padyatra.
