"Modiji promised in his poll speech that the Minimum Support Price will be increased. No such increase took place. All that has been done away with."
"Most important thing is that the land bill is being destroyed and the government is hurriedly trying to pass it due to some reason," he said.
Addressing a massive rally of Youth Congress workers at Kozhikode beach here, the Congress Vice President also took a dig at the Modi government saying he wished the 'suit boot ki sarkar', which completed one year in office today, a happy birthday.
"Suit boot ki sarkar is the best definition for the BJP- led NDA government', Gandhi remarked while taking a jibe at the Modi government and said it should stop the 'oratory' and 'start action'.
Countering NDA government's claim of corruption-free governance, Gandhi said the offices of the Information Commissioner and the Central Vigilance Commission were 'headless' and they need to be filled up.
"Unfortunately, birthday celebrations is only for a few powerful friends of the government. Kisan, farmers and mazdoor have nothing to celebrate', he said.
"But wherever I go, farmers and labourers ask me why PM wears a Rs 10 lakh suit."
Gandhi also hit out at Modi for his frequent foreign trips.
