Mayawati govt has failed its farmers, says Rahul Gandhi

After his much-publicised four-day walkathon or padayatra through the villages of western Uttar Pradesh, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's projected campaign for the rights of farmers culminated today at the much-anticipated kisan mahapanchayat at Aligarh. On expected lines, Mr Gandhi wasted no time in launching a scathing attack on the Mayawati government for what he called its forcible and flawed acquisition of farmers' land.






As Rahul Gandhi marches on in Uttar Pradesh, visiting villages along the under-construction Yamuna Expressway from Noida to Agra, the BSP has said "his theatrics won't revive the Congress" in the state. BJP's UP in charge Uma Bharti also did not miss the opportunity to slam his visit and said it will not bring any change. She also blamed the Centre for wrong policies.
