AP Congress blames PM over police action on farmers

APCC president N Raghuveera Reddy has put the blame on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for what he described as brutal police action against thousands of farmers marching to New Delhi and demanded a public apology from him.

Raghuveera Reddy, who staged a protest in Vijayawada along with other Congress leaders on the issue on Wednesday, said, “On the International Day of Non-violence, the Centre used police force against farmers and resorted to violence as if infiltrators were entering the national capital. Modi should take moral responsibility for it and apologise to the farmers.”

The APCC chief also asserted that Congress president Rahul Gandhi will announce `2 lakh farm loan waiver if the grand old party comes to power in 2019.
