Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra while addressing a virtual rally in Uttar Pradesh hits out on BJP on three agriculture laws, "Farmers kept saying that the three farm laws were not in their interest, but BJP kept insisting otherwise. The three laws were part of a conspiracy to give hard-earned money of farmers to some industrialists."
