PM Came To Pathankot But Couldn’t Meet Protesting Farmers: Priyanka Gandhi
Mumbai: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi “came to Pathankot yesterday for polls but he couldn’t travel 5-6 kilometres from his residence to meet farmers” protesting near Delhi’s borders.
“PM came to Pathankot yesterday for polls, he couldn’t travel 5-6 km from his residence to meet farmers. He made the farmers agitate for a year. He visited the US, Canada, travelled all over the world, and bought two Rs 16,000 crores-worth choppers for himself,” Priyanka said while addressing a public rally in Pathankot.
She was referring to the farmers’ year-long agitation against the Centre’s three now repealed agricultural laws.
The Congress leader also alleged that PM Modi-led BJP government at the Centre didn’t pay the outstanding amount of Rs 14,000 crores of sugarcane farmers. “Not even once did he meet the agitating farmers…Instead, the son of his minister mowed down six farmers with his vehicle,” she said.

Attacking the Modi government, Priyanka further alleged that PM Narendra Modi is working for his industrialist friends.
“Punjabiyat is the sense that doesn’t bow down before anyone but the almighty. Out of all the political parties that come before you and talk about Paunjabiyat, one has already bowed down before its industrialist friends,” she said.
