Do not fall for words used by PM in his speeches, vote for change: Priyanka Gandhi in Uttarakhand

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked people not to get carried away by the words used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speeches and to vote for change in the Lok Sabha polls

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked people on April 13 not to get carried away by the words used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speeches and to vote for change in the Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a poll rally in Uttarakhand's Ramnagar, she said elections should be fought on real issues and not on the basis of empty rhetoric.

"Don't get carried away by the words used by Modiji in his election speeches. Before casting your vote, you should honestly ask yourself whether 10 years of the Modi government have really brought about a positive change in your lives," the Congress general secretary said.

Ever-growing unemployment, uncontrolled inflation and paper-leak scams are the truths of people's lives and the BJP-led government is responsible for these as it has been in power for the last 10 years, she said.

Ms. Gandhi also said people should ask Mr. Modi who is protecting the killers of resort receptionist Ankita Bhandari and the woman from Unnao in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.

Accusing the Modi government of not honouring any of its promises, the Congress leader reminded people that commitments, such as two crore jobs to youngsters and depositing ₹15 lakh in the bank accounts of every citizen, remain unfulfilled.
