Rahul Gandhi vs Rajnath Singh In Parliament After Wayanad Farmer Suicide

Rahul Gandhi's comment on the "terrible" state of farmers in the country provoked a rebuttal from Union Minister Rajnath Singh in parliament on Thursday. "People who ran the government for decades" were responsible for the situation, Rajnath Singh shot back, in a dig at the Congress."I would like to draw the attention of the government to the terrible plight of farmers in Kerala. It hurts me to inform this house that just yesterday, a farmer in Wayanad committed suicide due to his crushing debt," Rahul Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha, referring to the constituency from where he won the national election.
