Launching a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday said the Centre’s policies were denying the people their rights and making their life difficult with the increasing unemployment and price rise. Ms. Vadra said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was resorting to “all possible tactics” for clinging to power at the Centre and in several States.
Ms. Vadra was addressing a rally at Sikrai in Rajasthan’s Dausa district ahead of the November 25 State Assembly election. While the rally formed part of the Congress’ campaign for Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP), Ms. Vadra utilised the opportunity to highlight the State government’s flagship schemes and affirmed her party’s commitment to the State’s development and public welfare.
Ms. Vadra also accused the Modi government of working for the benefit of big industrialists, to whom the money from the poor people’s pockets was being diverted. “Public welfare can only be achieved through politics based on service and compassion. The BJP has no inclination to work for betterment of the society,” she said.
