Chandigarh: Priyanka Gandhi Targets PM Modi Over Inflation And Unemployment

Priyanka Gandhi addressed Nyay Sankalp rally in Chandigarh in support of Congress Lok Sabha candidate Manish Tewari. Raising the issues of price rise and joblessness, she said, "Have you ever heard PM Modi talking about this? He talks about women empowerment and says that he gave 33 percent reservation to women. But does he talk about inflation?"

"Nehru had dreamt of Chandigarh": Priyanka Gandhi further said that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had dreamt of Chandigarh city. "He called architects from abroad to build this city. But it is unfortunate that the condition of Chandigarh city has deteriorated in the last 10 years. In 10 years, the Modi government has not done any development work here," she said.

The Congress leader said that PM Modi fought the first election in the name of giving 15 lakh rupees, while in the second election he talked about service and now in the third election he is playing Hindu-Muslim card. "Today, if he had done proper development in the country, then there would have been no need to play Hindu-Muslim. Earlier Modi used to talk about women empowerment, now he has to talk about Mangalsutra. There is no such power in the world that can snatch a woman's Mangalsutra. He is trying to mislead the public," she said.

"They don't waive loans of farmers": Priyanka Gandhi also attacked PM Modi fiercely on the issues of farmers, saying that today farmers in the country are not able to earn their livelihoods from farming. Modi government has imposed GST on every agricultural product, she said, adding that the BJP government waives millions and crores worth loans of billionaires, but does not let go a single rupee worth loans of farmers. In 10 years, Narendra Modi never asked farmers what problems they have been facing, she said.
