New Delhi: All India Congress Committee General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central authorities of transferring the wealth of the nation to corporates and taking away the rights of farmers.
“The BJP is handing over the entire wealth of the country to their billionaire friends by laying a red carpet, but when the farmers come to Delhi to demand their rights, they make blockades. It is the ‘jugalbandi’ (partnership) of BJP and suited and booted (corporates). It is a blockade to take away the rights of the farmer,” tweeted Vadra.

भाजपा अपने अरबपति मित्रों के लिए लाल कालीन बिछाकर देश का सारा धन उनके हवाले कर रही है लेकिन किसान अपना हक मांगने दिल्ली आना चाहते हैं तो नाकाबंदी की जा रही है।
