Gandhi will show his help for farmers by watching the occasion organized in Madurai, the party’s Tamil Nadu chief KS Alagiri mentioned today.“The bull is a symbol of farmers and part of their lives,” he mentioned.

His check out would “honour the farmers and the valorous Tamil culture on the day of the harvest festival, added Mr. Alagiri, stressing that the Congress MP would not engage in any election campaign that day.
