Priyanka Gandhi targeted

On the other hand, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi has once again targeted the Modi government regarding Ajay Mishra. Priyanka tweeted, “Due to the court’s rebuke and satyagraha, now the police also say that the son of the Minister of State for Home had conspired and crushed the farmers. There should be an inquiry that what was the role of the Minister of State for Home in this conspiracy? But Narendra Modi has not even removed him from the post because of his anti-farmer mentality.
