Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee did not even visit Jantar Mantar to meet the protesters despite being in Delhi.
Senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday said that while his party fought for farmers' rights during the agitation against the three contentious agriculture laws, the Trinamool Congress is now "falsely" claiming credit for their scrapping.
The Congress leader in Lok Sabha said that while Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders and workers stood in support of the agitating farmers across the country, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee did not even visit Jantar Mantar to meet the protesters despite being in Delhi.
"We fought for farmers' rights for 11 months, where was the Trinamool Congress then? The Mamata Banerjee-led party is now making a laughing stock of itself," he told reporters.
He said that Rahul Gandhi and other leaders had gone to the farmers' panchayat at Jantar Mantar and listened to the speeches of the agitation leaders there.
