Hoshiarpur (Punjab): Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Monday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not give compensation to farmers who died in the farmers' protest while Rajasthan and Punjab governments have paid the compensation.
"Punjab farmers for a year stood hungry in winters as PM Modi tried to give their hard work to a few billionaires. He couldn't give two minutes of silence in Parliament to farmers who died during the protest. He didn't give compensation either, which was given by the Rajasthan and Punjab governments," Gandhi said while addressing 'Navi Soch Nava Punjab' rally, in Hoshiarpur, Punjab.
