Glitz and glamour of BJP a facade, people will choose INDIA alliance, says Priyanka Gandhi
INDIA alliance as they have realised the glitz and glamour of the BJP is a facade, AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi said on Saturday. Speaking in a rally in Davangere in Karnataka a day before campaigning ends in the state, the leader hit out at the Narendra Modi-led government, saying it was busy in corruption by making schemes.
“He [Prime Minister Narendra Modi] talks very well about sabka saath, sabka vikas (everyone’s support, everyone’s progress), but does nothing for the poor. Meanwhile, the people of the country are suffering from unemployment, inflation and economic crisis,” she said.
Accusing the PM of crony capitalism, she said he spoke of welfare but was never seen with the poor in villages. “All his rallies are with his rich businessmen friends. No wonder our country’s railways, aviation, ports and shipping are now in the hands of one man,” she added.
She hit out at the NDA government for the GST regime, saying it had made farmers’ lives much more difficult. “We see how prices are rising everywhere. It wasn’t so in the decades of Congress rule. Farmers had enough to sustain themselves with the food they grew and enough surplus to sell at a fair price,” she said.
