BJP Obsessed With My Family: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi

Khaga (Fatehpur)/Mahoba (Bundelkhand): Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of being obsessed with her family, saying that 50 percent of the BJP leaders' speeches were devoted to blaming her family but they never talked about what they did in the last five years.

Addressing a rally in Khaga in Fatehpur Lok Sabha constituency, the Congress leader, who is also the in-charge for eastern Uttar Pradesh, said: “They (BJP) are obsessed with our family. Fifty percent of their election speeches are full of what (Jawaharlal) Nehruji did and what Indiraji (Gandhi) did. But they will not tell you what they have done in the last five years despite getting a huge mandate.”

Attacking the saffron party, Priyanka Gandhi said: “Those who are known for making rhetorics are today alleging that the promise of the Congress to provide Rs 72,000 to every poor family is rhetoric.

“They (BJP) are saying the government doesn’t have money. But the same government had money to waive off the loans of the industrialists. From where did that money come? It came from the pockets of the common people.”

Targeting the BJP government over the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), the Congress leader said: “This scheme is meant to help the private insurance companies. The intentions and the policies of this government are not good. So you people need to be aware now. If you become aware, no political leader will dare to utter a lie in front of you from this dais. The politics of lie needs to end.” (IANS)
