Isn't he your prime minister, Rahul taunts BJP

April 20, 2015 16:36

'Your prime minister,' Rahul says, and when the treasury benches point out that he is the nation's PM, asks them with a sly smile, 'Why isn't he your prime minister, are you disowning him?'

'Okay, he has won the election, but I have a question. 67 pc of people depend on agriculture. Your PM, the nation's PM, understand political calculations, so the question arises why is he making 70 pc of the people unhappy? I have been thinking, why is this so?'

Because, 'the price of the land, of Indian farmers, is rising sharply. And your corporate friends want that land? So what are you doing?

'On one side, you are weakening the farmer, and when he is unable to stand on his feet, you will hit him with your ordinance. This is why you are ignoring 70 pc of the people.'
