NEW DELHI, Apr 29 : Back from a tour of Punjab mandis, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the plight of farmers triggering an uproar in Lok Sabha. The Congress Vice President accused the government of not procuring the produce of farmers, a charge that was flatly rejected by Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Rahul said he wanted to apprise the House of the pain and problems of the Punjab farmer whose produce is lying in Mandis and is not being procured by the government. ?PTI
