“They seem frustrated, making absurd remarks..”: Priyanka Gandhi hits out at PM Modi, BJP leaders

April 24, 2024

Kerala: Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP leaders for their repeated attacks on Congress, party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has said that they “seem frustrated and are making absurd statements” as Lok Sabha elections do not seem to be going in their favour and they are raising new issues every day which are not linked to the welfare of people.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Priyanka Gandhi accused the BJP leaders of stooping to the level of lying to people, misleading and trying to scare them.

She said if the BJP-led government had worked to improve the lives of people and tackle problems like price rise, unemployment, worked for creating educational institutions and providing health facilities then the discussion that is taking place on stage today would not have happened.

Priyanka Gandhi said BJP leaders apparently feel that the first phase of Lok Sabha polls held on April 19 has not gone in their favour and that is why they are carrying out “misleading attacks” on Congress.

“Going by the behaviour of the tall leaders of the BJP, including the PM, it seems that the election is not going in their favour. They seem frustrated and are making absurd statements…Had they done anything for the people in 10 years…what is being discussed from the stage would not have been discussed. They raise new issues every day which have nothing to do with public…You have stooped to a level where you lie to people and attempt to mislead and scare them. I think that the trends are not in their favour, so they are doing this,” Priyanka Gandhi said.

“It is their old habit. We have been talking about vision from the beginning till date…You can even hear my speech…When you listen to their speeches, what do they have? What vision? You say Vision 2047, but what is that vision? What did you do in the last 10 years to take the vision forward?…What vision do you have for the common man? What are you doing about unemployment? About inflation?” Priyanka Gandhi added.
