"PM Modi's words carry no weight": Congress Gen Secretary Priyanka Gandhi

Priyanka Gandhi at a rally in Nandurbar

Nandurbar: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that his words do not carry any weight and are intended only to gather votes during elections.

She was addressing an election rally in Nandurbar, Maharashtra.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "Whatever PM Modi says has no weight. Whatever he says is just for the elections. He says that he is fighting for corruption alone. You have the power and all the resources. All the leaders of the world are with you. How can you be alone? He comes during elections and starts crying, saying that he was abused. He should learn determination and bravery from Indira Gandhi. But, you cannot learn from her because you call such a great woman anti-national."

Citing the example of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, she said that the Prime Minister should learn from her, who divided Pakistan into two parts.

She said, "The foundation of Congress' political tradition was laid by Mahatma Gandhi. He said that follow the path of truth. Following that, all the leaders of Congress learned that people are supreme in democracy. It is our duty to serve you.

It is our responsibility to understand your life. But the BJP has an opposite ideology. They do not understand and respect your culture. Whenever they get an opportunity, they try to change your culture... The biggest leaders of the BJP have been silent wherever there have been atrocities on tribal communities." (with Agency inputs)
