In the second attack after yesterday's farmers' rally speech in the capital where he prised the Modi government of being anti-farmer and pro-industrialists, the Congress leader made repeated jibes playing on the words 'ache din (good days) government' and 'suit-boot sarkar' and claiming it had failed.
"The ache din government has failed the country on the issue of farmers," he said in a 25-minute speech accusing it of "ignoring" the farming community and favouring the industrialists and rich people, which was a "blunder" as the farmers will 'harm" BJP in future.
Later, he told reporters outside the House that the government had no answers to the questions he had raised in the House. His mother and Congress President Sonia Gandhi was also appreciative of his speech.
The speech was repeatedly interrupted by BJP members, who clashed with Congress members who got up to defend their leader. Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu had to intervene to calm down the treasury benches, telling them let the debate continue without interruption.
The land ordinance was re-issued after much deliberations, he said, adding that the previous UPA dispensation "had issued 462 ordinances, while this government has come out with hardly 10".
