The Congress leader said that the agreements made with farmers while repealing the draconian farm laws have not been honoured yet and no guarantee of MSP has been given to farmers. She said that the hard earned money of the public is used to benefit Adani .
Yagnik said that PM Modi has given clean chit to China even as it continues to occupy Indian territory. Launching an attack on the BJP government, the Congress leader said that the social fabric is deliberately being disturbed for political gains. She claimed that atrocities on Dalits, ST, women, OBCs and minorities have increased. The Congress leader accused PM Modi of weakening constitutional values ad democratic institutions.
