PM using 'imagination' in his speeches not speaking on basis of facts: Priyanka Gandhi
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been «using his imagination a lot» in his speeches of late and not speaking on the basis of facts. Her remarks came a day after Prime Minister Modi claimed the Congress will reverse the Supreme Court verdict on the Ram temple if voted to power just like its landmark 1985 ruling in the Shah Bano case was overturned by the Rajiv Gandhi government as part of the party's appeasement politics.
In an exclusive interview with PTI while on the campaign trail in Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli from where her brother Rahul Gandhi is contesting the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress general secretary challenged the prime minister to speak on issues of unemployment, price rise and farmers' plight.
Asked about her assessment of the ground situation after three rounds of the seven-phase polls, Priyanka Gandhi said, «My assessment is that people are wanting change. Everywhere I go I get the sense that people are fed up now of being lied to, they are fed up with the level of discussion that is taking place in the media and on political stages.»
«They want their problems to be discussed, they want solutions, they want to know what has the government done for unemployment, what has it done to reduce prices which are so high, what is it doing to actually help the farmer, help the labourer, help the people with their problems,» she said.
