Rahul Gandhi has completed the first phase of his Kisan Yatra in Uttar Pradesh. He asked PM Modi to waive off farmers’ loans. But how is this going help farmers or the Congress?

For farmers it is a story that repeats in every election. They are used to big promises that are not followed through.

Leaders of parties such as Samajwadi Party and the BJP dismissed the yatra and declared it a failure.
