In his speech, apparently made in the last Lok Sabha when he was an MP from Amethi, Rahul is heard saying that a farmer during his trip to Uttar Pradesh asked him to explain the “magic” behind a packet of potato chips costing Rs 10 while farmers sell potato for Rs 2 per kg. When he asked what they thought was the reason for this, the farmer said factories are located very far from them and if they could sell their produce directly there, they will get all the money without middlemen earning any cut, Rahul is heard saying in the short video posted by Nadda.
