Interim Budget 2019: Rahul Gandhi slams Modi govt, says sops for farmers an insult

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has hit out at the Modi government's Interim Budget, saying the sops that Piyush Goyal announced for the farmers are "an insult". Gandhi was attacking the announcement of providing an income support of Rs 17 a day to farmers.

Using the hashtag #AakhriJumlaBudget to target the Modi government's last Budget ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Gandhi wrote on Twitter, "Dear NoMo, 5 years of your incompetence and arrogance has destroyed the lives of our farmers. Giving them Rs. 17 a day is an insult to everything they stand and work for."
