PM hell bent on destroying agriculture, is not even remotely connected with farming:Cong min

Chandigarh, Sep 24 (UNI) The Cabinet Minister and senior Congress leader S. Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa today took on the Union Government over the issue of farm bills and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar are hell bent upon bringing the farmers from Punjab to devastation through black laws and don’t have even the remotest of connection with farming.
Presenting as proof the affidavits of both the leaders, the Congress leader said the PM and the Agriculture Minister don’t possess even an inch of cultivable land hence they are completely oblivious of the trials and tribulations the farming sector is going through. It would be first time in the annals of the country's history that the minister holding the Agriculture portfolio doesn’t have agricultural land. Till date, eminent leaders such as Gurdial Singh Dhillon, Balram Jakhar, Chaudhary Devi Lal and Surjit Singh Barnala have been the Agriculture Ministers of the country who were both politicians as well as deeply connected with farming occupation.
Pointing out further, S. Randhawa said more than the PM and the Agriculture Minister, it is the Akali leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal who is more to blame as she signed on the ‘Death Warrant’ of the farmers despite hailing from the family which every now and then so loudly professes to champion the cause of farmers. At the time of passing of the ordinances, Harsimrat Kaur Badal was a member of the Union Cabinet and the anti-farmer ordinances were given the go ahead with her consent only.
