Chandigarh, Oct 4 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today said the farmers of Punjab would never forgive former Congress President Rahul Gandhi for striking a 'deal to sell off the interests of farmers by facilitating the passage of the Agri Acts' and asked him to stop cheap ‘tamashas’ and direct his party’s government in Punjab to fulfill the promises made to the ‘annadaata’.

Terming Rahul’s visit to Punjab as a classic case of “nau sau chuhe kha ki billi haj ko chali”, senior SAD leader Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra said “You Rahul Gandhi did not only run away from the country when the Agri Bills were to be tabled in Parliament in the most cowardly manner but also facilitated their passage by refusing to issue a whip to your MPs to vote against them and even preventing senior leaders from speaking against the Bills in the Parliament. But for your cowardice the Bills could have been stopped, but you chose to help the BJP government rather than standing with the farmers of the country."
