Sangrur (Punjab) [India], October 5 (ANI): Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Monday requested Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to scrap new farm laws when he becomes the "Prime Minister with a majority in the Lok Sabha".

Addressing a public rally in Bhawanigarh on the second day of the three-day Kheti Bachao Yatra, the Chief Minister vowed to do whatever it takes to protect the farmers and the state from the devastating effects of the black laws.

He said that the Modi government had "backtracked" on every single promise, be it the constitutional promise of Goods and Services Tax (GST) or employment or doubling of farmers' income.

For seven months, Punjab had not got its share of GST, leaving the state struggling to manage amid COVID-19, Singh said. (ANI)
