Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Congress leader and star campaigner for the Lok Sabha polls Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is making Indians dependent and not Atmanirbhar' with their policies .
The Congress leader was speaking at an election rally in Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh, where Rahul Gandhi is participating.
Priyanka Gandhi harped on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's well-used terminology of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India)' and said voters would choose work over the '5 kg ration' the BJP government promises them.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra while addressing the public meeting said, “…a 5 kg ration will not make the future. It will not make you an 'Aatmanirbhar'. When I ask you what you will choose between a job and a job of 5 kg ration, you will definitely opt for a job. It will make you self-reliant. You must understand that the political party, which makes policies that make you dependent, and not 'Aatmanirbhar', the ideology of such a party is not correct. ..”
On Wednesday, Priyanka Gandhi spoke to news agency PTI about her ground assessment of the Lok Sabha elections after three rounds of the seven-phase polls. “My assessment is that people want change. Everywhere I go I get the feeling that people are now tired of being lied to; they are tired of the level of discussion that takes place in the media and on political stages. she noted.
'They want their problems discussed, they want solutions, they want to know what the government has done about unemployment, what it has done to reduce prices that are so high, what it is doing to actually help the farmer, the help worker. help the people with their problems,” said Priyanka Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi is contesting the Lok Sabha election from the Rae Bareli seat, while Kishori Lal Sharma, a close associate of the Gandhi family, has been fielded from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat.
