Sirhind (Punjab): Rahul Gandhi last week travelled by train to the grain bowl Punjab and met farmers to see their condition "with my own eyes". Rahul reached Ambala in Haryana bordering Punjab in Sachkhand Express before he drove down to the local Anaj Mandi in Fategarh Sahib district. "I have been told that the situation is very bad. So I want to see it with my own eyes.

Asked to respond to the criticism that his visit to Punjab was a "drama" and was political, Gandhi shot back," What do they want to make everything non-political?"
