On the way he stopped at Modina Gala Mandi to interact with farmers. Rahul Gandhi inquired from the farmers the rate of the wheat grain. The farmers informed that while the government had fixed the rate at Rs 1180 per quintal they were being forced to sell it at Rs 980 per quintal thereby brokers were pocketing balance of Rs 200 on every quintal. Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh was also with Rahul Gandhi. He assured the farmers that the Congress Party was with them. It may be recalled that the Bundelkhand monitoring committee was formed by the Congress last year to look into the implementation of the Bundelkhand special package.
