Rahul Gandhi targets Modi over promise of doubling farmers income


New Delhi, Jul 9 (IANS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his government's promise of doubling farmers' incomes, citing a report where a a Chhattisgarh sarpanch claims that officials from Delhi taught a woman farmer to tell Modi she now earns twice as much.

"Everyone knows PM tells his 'Mann ki Baat'. Today it is coming out that he also wants to listen to his 'Mann ki Baat' (from others)," he said in a tweet, referring to Modi's interaction with farmers through video bridge last month as also his monthly radio programme.

Attaching a video of a news report that quoted the sarpanch from the state's Kanharpuri as saying that Chandramani, the woman farmer, had been tutored by team from Agriculture Department from New Delhi, Gandhi also said that Chandramani's claim of "higher income from agriculture" during her interaction with Modi through video bridge did not seem true.

Modi had interacted with farmers from different parts of the country on June 20.

The woman is seen in the news report as saying that she had been asked if she will be able to interact with the Prime Minister.

    BA fail but MA pass in Fekuism. If EVMs alone are used to capture votes then it becomes very obvious so BJP has to do something other to prove its doing a good job.

    I have listened to both ABP news story
    And
    Modi's interaction with Chandramani
    It's impossible to tell lies in that way for Chandramani to PM on Video
    She said how she could make sitaphal pulp and sell in Delhi with a group of 300 people
    It may be true that Govt officials might have given training about improving communication skills .But it's so degrading to call Poor Chandramani as a lier
