Congress General Secretary, Priyanka Gandhi addresses Kisan Panchayat in Meerut, UP. Speech Excerpts, via INC India:

Farmers have been protesting for 100 days now.

More than 200 of them have been martyred. It was the Modi govt’s duty to talk to the farmers.

BJP govt has made fun of the farmers’ martyrdom, has insulted them.

I promise to stand strong with our farmers, whether it is 100 days or 100 months.

On one side, there are billionaires; on the other, there are our farmers. How can our farmers get justice in such a situation?

Why would our farmers protest for over a 100 days at the Delhi borders if the three farm laws were benefiting them?

When our farmers fight for their rights, no force can stand against them.

More than 200 farmers are martyred. When Rahul Gandhi ji had urged in Parliament that two-minutes silence be observed in tribute to those farmers, not a single person from the Modi government stood up.

I will fight for farmers as long as I am alive.
