Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has accused Congress President Sonia Gandhi of misleading the country on the issue of Land Acquisition Bill.
He also alleged that previous UPA government ‘s policies had resulted in unemployment and farmers’ suicide in the country.
Earlier on Monday, Sonia Gandhi had said that she would be conducting a massive ‘Kisan Rally’ at the Ramlila Ground here on April 20 during which she is expected to target the Centre’s contentious bill.
According to reports, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi would also be present in the rally.
In a rare show of strength, a united opposition of 14 political parties, led by the Congress president had earlier on March 17 marched from the Parliament to the Rashtrapati Bhawan to protest against the BJP-led NDA Government’s Land Bill. (ANI)
