Party President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi advocated for the farmer’s interest and said that their voice can’t be suppressed. They said that farming community can never be silenced or suppressed, and any attempt to do so, would be countered with all the power at her command.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi said that by coming here today in such large numbers, you have strengthened our resolve. She further said that we are here to send a strong message to the Prime Minister and his government as 'Enough is enough.'
Sonia Gandhi alleged that BJP is conspiring against the farmers and it have introduced amendments to a law that they had consented to, and is pro-farmer. The amendments are being made to benefit corporates and industrialists.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said that farmers are afraid of the changes that are being introduced to the (land) bill we had brought in 2013. Today, when a farmer goes to bed, he doesn't know what will happen to his land the next day. He is living in fear.
He further said that Congress Government could help the farmers, we did it. We waived off farmers loans worth 70,000 crore rupees. We brought in MNREGA for the labourers. Whatever we did, we did for the poor.
He further added that whenever the Congress has always worked for the poor and the weak, and we will continue to fight their battle.
