He claimed that Modi has sold cotton, soya, apple and fruit farmers by striking a deal with the US</p><p>"For years, foreigners have been trying to capture our agriculture market. This is the truth, Modi also knows this. He has done this as there is a chokehold on his neck. Modi's reins are in the hands of Donald Trump. Maize, cotton, soya bean and fruit farmers are only the beginning," he said.</p><p>"Narendra Modi will open the doors to the entire agriculture market for his friends like Adani, Ambani and for foreign powers. The whole country and the farmers know that Narendra Modi is anti-farmer," he alleged while adding that the Prime Minister.</p><p>"Narendra Modi has sold the country and its farmers. You put cases against me, abuse me. do whatever you want, file a privilege motion, it does not matter to me, I have spoken the truth in Parliament, you may not like it, but the country knows the truth. Do whatever you want, I am standing with the farmers. I will not budge even an inch," Rahul said.</p><p>In his WhatsApp channel while posting the video, he asked why Modi is always ready to sacrifice farmers. </p><p>"First, he introduced black laws to benefit his billionaire friends - now, to free himself from the American stranglehold on his own, he has opened the doors of Indian agriculture to Trump's America. Tomorrow, these doors will be widened even further -- for those same billionaire friends, for other foreign powers," he claimed. </p>
