The 44-year-old Gandhi scion is scheduled to meet about half a dozen groups of farmers from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh at his residence.

Those meeting Rahul Gandhi look less like 'real farmers' & more like 'landlords or Vadra types to be precise'. Who is the #Congress fooling?
