New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi took on the Modi government in Lok Sabha today over the closure of a food park in Amethi. The Centre now has bigger plans - to develop Amethi, Rahul Gandhi's constituency, as a smart city.

Here are the highlights from Rahul Gandhi's speech in Parliament:
  • I am not talking about suits. I am speaking about potatoes.
  • A farmer asked me, that we sell potatoes for Rs. 2 per kilogram, but when our children go to buy chips, they have to pay Rs. 10 per packet.
  • All I want to say is that the Food Park in Amethi will bring a massive change in the lives of farmers, please don't cancel it.
  • PM promised politics of change, not revenge, but that's exactly what's happened in Amethi.
