Today 4 Acres, Tomorrow 40 Acres: AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge Delivers Cinema-Style Dialogue to a Poor Farmer

Kalaburagi: In Kalaburagi, a farmer approached AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, holding up his damaged tur (gram) crop to express his hardships. Seeing this, the somewhat irritated AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge responded with a cinema-style dialogue to the poor farmer.

When a farmer came to share his woes, AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge displayed arrogance towards him in his own style, sparking widespread debate on whether this was appropriate. Farmers are already suffering immensely due to excessive rains and droughts, and it seems there's no one to listen to their grievances.

AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge's Statements:
Ask Modi and Amit Shah for tur.

"The one who thrashed with six (perhaps referring to a political jab), now the one thrashed with three is saying this. Go ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah for tur."

He mockingly quipped, "Today 4 acres, tomorrow 40 acres."

Such words from an experienced politician like him—how appropriate are they? Political leaders and farmers have condemned this, with some saying, "This is Congress culture; it's not the first time," expressing their outrage against Kharge.Ban on Social Media in Nepal: Here's the Reason

In the state, countless farmers have been driven to death. In this context, if a farmer approaches politicians to share their pain, instead of helping, at the very least, they should offer some words of solace from a humanitarian standpoint. But whether what Kharge did was right is the hot topic of discussion right now.
