Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today urged farmers - lakhs of whom have been protesting the new agriculture laws since November - to stay strong; "this government is weak... this government will have to back down," she said at a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar. Muzaffarnagar is the home ground of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) chief Rakesh Tikait, who has emerged as the de facto leader of the farmers over the past few weeks.
