Watch: Rahul Gandhi takes a train to Punjab to take stock of farmers' issues

Rahul Gandhi is visiting Khanna and Gobindgarh in Punjab today to take stock of the situation in the state's grain markets where farmers are finding it difficult to sell their produce after the recent spell of unseasonal rains. Gandhi will be travelling by train and is scheduled to reach the region by late afternoon. The Congress Vice President had recently attacked the government, alleging that it was "ignoring" the farming community and favouring the industrialists and rich people. He also plans to undertake a padyatra from either Vidarbha in Maharashtra or the Telangana region, from the first week of May to connect with farmers.
