 "Rahul targets Modi on land ordinance")
"Modi ji in an amazing hurry to grab land from poor farmers at any cost. A 3rd attempt at pushing the anti farmer Land Ordinance!"
"Congress Party will continue to fight for the rights of the kisan and mazdoor against this #suitbootkisarkar", the Congress Vice President said in tweets.
The reaction of Gandhi, who has led the Congress campaign against the Land bill, came hours after the Union Cabinet at a meeting decided to recommend repromulgation of the controversial ordinance for the third time. The 2013 Land bill passed during the UPA regime was the brainchild of Rahul. Party leader Jairam Ramesh, who was the Rural Development Minister during UPA rule, said the Modi government has made a "mockery" of the exercise to go into the measure by the Joint Committee which had held its first meeting only on Friday.
