New Delhi: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took up the cause of farmers of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday and demanded compensation for them whose crops were destroyed in hailstorm and heavy rains.

Sharing a video in which farmers are seen speaking about their crop losses, Vadra tweeted: "Listen to problems of these farmers.

  • इन किसानों का दर्द सुनिए। ओलावृष्टि और भारी बारिश के चलते उत्तर प्रदेश की तमाम जगहों पर किसानों की फसल बर्बाद हो गई। कई किसानों की तो 80% तक फसल बर्बाद हो गई है।

    यूपी की भाजपा सरकार को कोरे दावे करने की बजाय नुक़सान का पूरा आंकलन करके किसानों को उचित मुआवजा देना चाहिए। pic.twitter.com/NOKptNJqMk
