Phogat Criticises PM Modi

Congress MLA Vinesh Phogat, accompanied by her husband Sombir Rathi, expressed deep sorrow over his plight. She criticised the government for neglecting Dallewal, who, despite battling cancer and personal loss, is fighting for farmers' rights and the future.

"There is no greater sorrow than this. Dallewal, who is both a determined elder and a leader we need, has been left in such a state by the government. There is a difference between talking and implementing. Today, an elderly person is sitting there hungry, suffering from cancer, and has even lost his wife. Yet, he is fighting for our future and struggling immensely,” she told IANS.
