Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi here on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party-led (BJP) National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, accusing it of destroying all the democratic institutions in the country that protect constitutional rights.
Addressing a public meeting at Kambalakkad in the district on Wednesday in connection with the election campaign of United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate Rahul Gandhi, Ms. Gandhi said the NDA government had been trying to destroy the institutions for the past ten years by using crooks.
Most of the media in the country would not say anything about it as the BJP had captured the media, Ms. Gandhi said. They would not speak about important issues related to the public such as the increasing price of essential commodities, declining growth rate of the country, or increase in unemployment rate, she said.Rather, they spoke about unrelated things to our life to cover the truth, she added.
