New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched a fresh attack at the Narendra Modi-led government over various issues related to the farmers. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of unleashing 'atrocities' on them.

In a tweet in Hindi, Rahul wrote: "PM's 'farmers harassment scheme': No compensation to martyr farmers ; no data on farmers suicide; waived off 'friends' debt, but not farmers; false promise on Minimum Support Price. Benefitted insurance companies of Rs 40,000 crore in the name of Fasal Bima.'
