Rahul Gandhi the Congress chief said that giving Rs 17 to the farmers a day is nothing but insulting them. He was commenting on the interim budget. Minister Piyush Goel who presented the budget announced that the farmers who have agricultural lands under 5 acres would get Rs6000 in three instalments amounting to Rs 17 a day.
The budget is Akhiri Jhumla commented Rahul Gandhi. The incompetence and arrogance of Namo have destroyed the lives of the farmers commented Rahul Gandhi.
Senior Congress leader Chidambaram said that this is the budget for votes. But Piyush Goel said that this was to address the rural distress and especially the farming community.
Dear NoMo,
5 years of your incompetence and arrogance has destroyed the lives of our farmers.
Giving them Rs. 17 a day is an insult to everything they stand and work for. #AakhriJumlaBudget
