Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, in an address to the farmers in the Uttar Pradesh sugar belt on Sunday, reiterated his demand to the government to waive off the farmers’ loans. Speaking at public meetings in Sathiyaon (Azamgarh) and Bhadsar (Ghazipur), Gandhi said he would submit the farmers’ demand letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi soon. Continuing his attack on PM Modi, he raised the ‘selfie issue’, saying: “Modi takes selfies. He will have to pay attention to farmers.”“Modi ji goes to the US, meets his friend Obama and takes selfie with him, then he moves to China where he takes selfie, then he goes to Japan and takes selfie,” Gandhi said. The Congress vice-president also gave a brief speech in Muslim-dominated area of Mubarakpur.
