SURAT: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing attack on BJP -led NDA govt over inflation and unemployment during a campaign rally for Lok Sabha elections in Dharampur of Gujarat’s Valsad district on Saturday. She alleged that BJP would alter the Constitution if it came to office for a third time. “Many BJP functionaries are saying they will change the Constitution. But Modiji is denying it. First, they will always deny what they want to do. But after coming to office, they will implement it. They want to change the Constitution to weaken the common people and deprive them of their rights,” Priyanka said.
Priyanka referred to PM Modi as “mehengai man”. “Modiji is portrayed as a big leader. On the other hand, see how people are struggling. People are unemployed, and the unemployment rate is the highest ever in the country,” she said.
She said Modi is portrayed as an able leader, but people are unemployed and the unemployment rate is the highest ever in the country. “People fear telling him anything. The PM is so arrogant, no one can tell him anything. How would he know what problems people are facing? When I was young, I used to be with Indiraji and Rajivji. People of Amethi would scold them for roads, but they did not take offence. They were assured of roads,” she said.
Priyanka praised former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, referring to him as a “sabhya insaan” (civilised person).
She criticised BJP govt’s handling of women’s security and its response to protests by Olympic medallists as well as Hathras and Unnao gang rapes.
Regarding electoral bonds, she alleged: “They came up with a scheme of political donation. The BJP raided many people and took funds. They have accepted funds from those involved in the bridge collapse, from the makers of corona vaccine.”
Priyanka highlighted Congress’s manifesto, which addresses issues faced by the tribal population. The party will bring an MGNREGA-like scheme for urban areas where families will get 100 days of guaranteed work, she said.
She also outlined Congress’s agenda, including filling approximately 30 lakh vacancies in govt jobs, providing subsidised diesel to fishermen, increasing the minimum wage to Rs 400, and implementing “sub-plans” for STs and SCs. She advocated for a special budget for tribal people and the declaration of tribal-dominated areas as scheduled areas.
