If Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was so concerned about farmers’ land issues and their harassment, he should visit Jaitapur in Maharashtra and lead the agitation of local farmers and fishermen against the proposed nuclear power plant there, Shiv Sena said on Saturday.

“Rahul should visit Jaitapur and lead the agitation. We will also join in,” Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said.

“Rahul has waged an agitation against the Mayawati government, saying that farmers’ lands cannot be acquired by force. He has also undertaken ‘padyatras’. This is nothing but a farce by Rahul and Congress,” Mr. Uddhav said.

“All this is a political nautanki (drama),” the Sena leader said.

Shiv Sena has backed the local people’s agitation against the nuclear power project in Jaitapur, in coastal Ratnagiri district.


Uddhav should know better: Rahul's heart bleeds only for UP farmers; he doesn't have enough blood to bleed for farmers of A.P. and Maharastra, where the Congress rules and for farmers of Bihar and Odisha, where elections are not due, yet!
