Priyanka mocks 'Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai' slogan

December 14, 2019 12:43

Congress leaders led by interim party chief Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh are holding a 'Bharat Bachao' rally at Ramlila grounds to highlight the "divisive and disruptive" policies of the Narendra Modi government. The protest rally comes amid a crippling economic slowdown and raging protests across the Northeast and in West Bengal over the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Stepping up the attack on PM Modi, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in six years of Modi government, the economy has tanked. "Modi hai to unemployment hai," she said at the rally at Ramlila grounds. "Our economy was developing at a rate that the world turned their attention to us, but in six years of Modi government, our economy has tanked, people are losing jobs, factories are shutting down."

Taking a swipe at PM Modi, Priyanka says that laws are being passed which are unconstitutional, referring to the recent Citizenship Amendment Act which has triggered violent clashes in Northeast and West Bengal.

Evoking her father's memory while talking about Unnao rape victim, who was burnt alive by the rape accused, Priyanka said that she was reminded of her father Rajeev Gandhi's "bloodied body" when she met the victim. "The blood of the farmer's daughter has mixed with the country, much like my father's blood," she says.
