AAP hits out at Rahul Gandhi's pro-farmer stance

"We want to ask Rahul ji, where was his love for farmers when his 'brother-in-law' was acquiring their lands?" said AAP leader Kumar Vishwas.

"I challenge Rahul ji. If he can identify 'bajra' and wheat in five fields, then we will leave politics," he added.

Rahul had on Monday taken the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government to task over the Land Ordinance in Parliament, saying the 'acche din' government had failed the country.

"The 'achche din' government has failed the country on minimum support price and agriculture credit. In our time, agriculture grew. The average increase in credit was 20 percent each year," Gandhi said in his first speech in the 16th Lok Sabha.

The Congress vice-president also questioned Prime Minister Modi's commitment towards the farming community and added that he was not at all satisfied with the government's response on the farmers ' crisis.

The contentious Land Ordinance was tabled in the Lok Sabha by Union Minister of State for Skill Development Rajiv Pratap Rudy yesterday amid uproar by the opposition leaders.

The bill could not be converted into a law in the first half of the Budget Session due to opposition in the Rajya Sabha, where the government does not have requisite numbers, and was re-promulgated on April 3- a day before it was to lapse.
