Today is a historic day and I am happy that you also have joined this huge family. Now, we will together fight for the rights of the farmers in Amethi and I am confident that we will win this battle too and the farmers and aam aadmi here will reap more benefits” said the Congress MP amid cheers from the huge gathering.

This land is planned to be developed on housing, educational and commercial standards.
