Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not respect farmers and wants to tire out those protesting against the Centre's new agriculture laws. Rahul said, ‘The three (farm) laws have been brought to finish the farmers. If we don't stop this now, it will continue to happen in other sectors too. Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not respect the farmers. The farmers will neither deter nor fear.’ He joined the protesters in the national capital on January 15. He also led a march to the Governor House in Delhi as part of the Congress' nationwide agitation to express solidarity with protesting farmers. Priyanka Gandhi accompanied Rahul during the protest.
