Yours is a Suit-Boot Sarkar,” said Congress Vice President in Lok Sabha.

Gandhi said: “The ‘Acche Din’ government, they call themselves, has failed the country.”
Attacking the government, Rahul Gandhi said, “On one hand you are weakening the farmer. Then, when he is weak you will strike him down with the axe of your Land Ordinance.”

“The farmers are India’s backbone. The farmers gave us Green Revolution, because he was provided with the idea of MSP,”said Gandhi. “Everything has been built on the foundations laid down by India’s farmers,”he added.
