Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said her party’s decades old relationship with the people of Rae Bareli has entered a new phase and reiterated that voters are once again ready to elect the party. Ms. Vadra who is campaigning for her brother Rahul Gandhi, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of developing a nexus with big corporates, making favourable policies for these selected few and waiving off their loans.
“Whether it was the freedom movement or the post-Independence period, the conscious people of Rae Bareli have always taken the lead and shown the way to the country. Today, Rae Bareli is once again ready to fight for the salvation of democracy and the Constitution,” Ms. Vadra said.
“Congress has a hundred-year-old relationship of struggle and affection with the Rae Bareli family. When the freedom movement was going on, Pandit Motilal Nehru ji and Jawaharlal Nehru ji were associated with the farmers’ movement of Rae Bareli. Since then this relationship has remained intact and has become stronger than ever with time. There is tremendous enthusiasm among the people. Rae Bareli has become entranced with Rahul,” she said addressing a public gathering at Bhawanigarh locality in Rae Bareli.
