Congress has said that they will avenge the death of farmers who died in the protest last year by winning the polls in the state.
While addressing a rally on Wednesday, Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia said, “We will avenge the deaths of farmers, who lost their lives in Mandsaur protest last year, by winning the elections in November. BJP will be thrown out of the state.”
Prior to the rally, Gandhi visited the families of the farmers who were killed in the protest last year.
Rahul also addressed a Kisan Samriddhi Sankalp rally and assured farmers of the state that his party would waive all loans within 10 days of coming to power in the state.
“Here Kamal Nath (MP Congress President) and Jyotiraditya Scindia (the State poll campaign committee chairman) are sitting. If the Congress is voted to power in Madhya Pradesh, within 10 days, the debt will be waived. Our first job is to protect the farmers of India. Almost 1200 farmers have killed themselves in a year,” he said.
He was addressing a rally at Pipliya Mandi in Mandsaur district to commemorate the first anniversary of police firing on farmers during an agitation in which six farmers were killed.
