Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promises are as hollow and empty as his donation envelopes which he deposited some months ago at a Rajasthan temple, the envelope only had Rs 21 in it.
Priyanka Gandhi said that all the promises made by the Prime Minister and his party are hollow. “Kyun Ki, Modi Ji Ka Lifafa Khaali Hai” (Modi Ji’s envelope is empty), she said.
Addressing people in Jhunjhunu, many of whom have a Defence background, Priyanka spoke about her late grandmother Indira Gandhi and her late father Rajiv Gandhi, and referred to their martyrdom. She said, “My grandmother used to say whenever you are confused, you should go to the public, which will guide you.”
“I am also a martyr’s daughter. I am the granddaughter of a martyr. I know the value of sacrifice given for the country,” Priyanka said.
Referring to a number of public welfare schemes in Rajasthan, which have reached the grassroots and touched millions of lives, she cautioned people against the lies and fake promises of the BJP.
Referring to a recent appeal by urging people to vote for him, she pointed out that Modi is not going to be the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, as he is the Prime Minister of the country.
She said that the BJP in Rajasthan is a divided house and the party is busy planning to marginalise senior leaders by sending them to the BJP ‘Marg Darshak Mandal’, an organisation within the BJP for superannuated and sidelined leaders.
