"What Did They Do In 7 Years?" Priyanka Gandhi Charges At PM Modi In UP's Amethi

The BJP has been "spreading a web of lies" ever since they formed the government both at the centre and the state, Priyanka Gandhi said.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP at a party rally with brother Rahul Gandhi, raising the deaths during the second wave of COVID-19 and rising prices.

"What did the BJP do during the first wave of COVID-19? The party was responsible for the lack of oxygen cylinders," she said about the deaths during the second wave many of which were because of the lack of adequate medical supplies like oxygen.

She also took on the BJP's frequent charge that the Congress had done little for India during its rule after Independence 74 years ago, asking, "What did the (BJP) government do in Amethi for seven years? There has been one-sided development only in BJP's favour."

She also said that people were struggling because of the rising prices and demanded why junior Home Minister Ajay Mishra Teni, whose son has been accused of killing protesting farmers, has not been sacked yet. The BJP has been "spreading a web of lies" ever since they formed the government both at the centre and the state, she said.
