25-member M’laya Cong team meets Sonia, Rahul

New Delhi: A 25-member delegation of the State Congress, led by MPCC chief DD Lapang, called on  AICC chief  Sonia Gandhi and  Rahul Gandhi at 10 Janpath, on Sunday.
The delegation congratulated both for the success of Sunday’s Kisan Rally at Ramlila Ground, New Delhi.
V. Narayanasamy, ex-MP and AICC, in charge of Meghalaya and Dr. Vijay Laxmi Sadho,  AICC Secretary in charge  Meghalaya, accompanied the delegation.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, Lapang, Deborah Marak  and a host top party functionaries attended Sunday’s rally.
Addressing the rally Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi  accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi  of seeking to return “debt of industrialists” and vowed to fight for farmers’ interests and against the “weakened” land bill in his first public rally after returning from a 56-day leave of absence.
The BJP hit back, wondering how many times the Congress will launch him.
The Congress sought to put the Narendra Modi government on notice over its land bill with all its top leaders – Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Manmohan Singh – signalling the party’s intention to make it a rallying point in the party’s efforts to revive itself electorally after the debacle in the last Lok Sabha election.
“How Modi won the election? He took loans of thousands of crores from big industrialists from which his campaigning was done. How will he meet the obligation? He will do it by giving (them) your land. He wants to weaken the land bill,” Rahul Gandhi said at a well attended Kisan-Khet Mazdooor rally at the Ramlila Maidan. (With inputs from agencies)
