Kisan mahapanchayat: Rahul says echoes ‘call of truth’; BJP terms it ‘election meeting’

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Sunday said the kisan mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar echoed the “call of truth” that an “unjust government” must listen to, while BJP sought to paint it as an “election meeting” ahead of Assembly polls due in a number of states, including Uttar Pradesh next year.

Supporting the protesters, Rahul tweeted in Hindi, “The call of truth is echoing. You have to listen, unjust government!” Other senior Congress leaders also threw their weight behind the mahapanchayat.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that the “arrogance of power” cannot withstand the roar of the farmers. “Farmers are the voice of this country. Farmers are the pride of the country. Arrogance of any power cannot withstand the roar of the farmers,” she said.

The whole country is with the farmers in the fight to save agriculture and in demanding their dues for their hard work, the Congress general secretary said.
