क्या देश में संसदीय प्रणाली बची है?

क्या संसद में किसान की आवाज़ उठाना पाप है?

क्या तानाशाहों ने संसद को बंधक बना लिया है?

क्या सत्ता के नशे में सच की आवाज़ नही सुनती?

कितनी आवाज़ और दबाएँगे मोदी जी…..

किसान की,
मज़दूर की,
छोटे दुकानदार की,
संसद की…..#KisaanVirodhiModi pic.twitter.com/fjJUTSjm5w
