Lok Sabha Elections 2019: BJP plays with emotions of people, says Priyanka Gandhi

Ahmedabad : Priyanka Gandhi addressed her first public rally since she took over the charge of Congress general secretary and in-charge for Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Addressing mass gathering in Gujarat, she attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In her maiden speech, Priyanka Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of playing with the emotions of the people. She also urged the people to raise important issues plaguing the country and said that one has to think what one wants this election season.

Priyanka said, “You will have to think what exactly is this election. What are you going to choose in this election? You are going to choose your future. Useless issues should not be raised. Issues which should be raised must comprise what is most important for you and how you can move forward. How will youth get jobs, how will women feel safe, what will be done for farmers. These are the issues for elections.”

Priyanka Gandhi slammed PM Modi for spreading hatred in the country while claiming that Congress is all about love.

She said, "This country is made on the foundations of love, harmony and brotherhood. Today whatever is happening in the country is very sad.

“Wherever you see, hatred is being spread. Nothing matters more to us that you and I protect this nation, work for it and move forward together.”

Priyanka Gandhi's speech came after Congress' key CWC meeting in which Sonia Gandhi also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
