Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s poll speeches as mere ‘hollow talk’ and urged him to learn his lessons from the life of her grandmother and former PM Indira Gandhi, who divided Pakistan in two.
Addressing a poll rally in Maharashtra’s tribal-dominated Nandurbar constituency for the party’s candidate Gowaal Padvi, a day after PM Modi’s rally, the Congress general secretary accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of disregarding the culture and traditions of tribals and questioned Mr. Modi’s sincerity towards issues such as women’s safety and empowerment.
Drawing on her family’s legacy, she spoke about Indira Gandhi’s approach towards the welfare of common people and contrasted it with Mr. Modi’s allegedly self-serving politics.
