New Delhi: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took up the cause of farmers of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday and demanded compensation for them whose crops were destroyed in hailstorm and heavy rains.
इन किसानों का दर्द सुनिए। ओलावृष्टि और भारी बारिश के चलते उत्तर प्रदेश की तमाम जगहों पर किसानों की फसल बर्बाद हो गई। कई किसानों की तो 80% तक फसल बर्बाद हो गई है।
यूपी की भाजपा सरकार को कोरे दावे करने की बजाय नुक़सान का पूरा आंकलन करके किसानों को उचित मुआवजा देना चाहिए। pic.twitter.com/NOKptNJqMkAlso Read | Priyanka Gandhi: Congress has fielded some candidates to cut into BJP's vote share in UP

Sharing a video in which farmers are seen speaking about their crop losses, Vadra tweeted: "Listen to problems of these farmers. Due to hailstorm and heavy rains, the crops were destroyed in many places of Uttar Pradesh. Many farmers have lost up to 80% of their crops.
Instead of making blank claims, the BJP government in UP should give proper compensation to the farmers by doing a full assessment of the damage."
Rain/thundershowers were observed at many places in Uttar Pradesh on Friday, IMD said.
