‘Modi misleading people in name of religion for power’

Priyanka Gandhi said that government is working to reduce the import tax on the apples being imported from America but here taxes are being increased on the fruit…reports Asian Lite News

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday said that Bharatiya Janata Party has nothing to show for the work they did in the last 10 years of their tenure, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is asking the public to vote for his party in the name of Gods and Goddesses.

Addressing an election rally in Kangra, Priyanka Gandhi said, “The BJP tries to topple the elected government with its money power. MLAs were being lured with Rs 100 crore offers each. The Prime Minister of the country has the responsibility of maintaining democracy and building morality. PM Modi asks for votes in the name of Gods and Goddesses.”

She further said that government is working to reduce the import tax on the apples being imported from America but here taxes are being increased on the fruit.

“Adani is deciding the prices of apples. Taxes are being reduced for the apples coming from America but here it is being increased. BJP government only wants to remain in power in the name of religion for the last 10 years and is using money power extensively to stay in power,” Priyanka Gandhi said.

Regarding the Lok Sabha elections, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that in 2022, the people of Himachal Pradesh have elected a true and honest government. “Similarly, they should bring an honest government at the Center also”.

Polling in all four seats in Himachal is scheduled for June 1. It will not only pit candidates vying for Lok Sabha membership from four seats but also elect members for six assembly seats that fell vacant following the resignation and switchover of dissident Congress lawmakers.

Earlier, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday accused Narendra Modi-led Central government of not standing with the people of Himachal Pradesh in their hour of need when the devastation struck the Himalayan state last year after monsoon, adding that no special package was announced for the disaster affected families and rebuilding the state.

“In 2022, the people of Himachal Pradesh chose a truthful and honest government. Similarly, they should bring an honest government to power at the Centre. Despite a lot of difficulties, the state government is working for the people of Himachal,” Vadra told reporters on Monday in Chamba.

She further asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government did not announce or provide any special relief package for the disaster-hit people of the State.

“All the leaders were in Himachal when the monsoon disaster happened. PM Modi and the central government did not provide any assistance. Whatever was to come has also been stopped. The public should know their intentions and should also see our intentions. Please bring a honest government in Centre also,” he added.

Earlier on Friday, PM Modi accused the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh of selectively distributing central aid meant for victims of last year’s floods and promised to find out where the money went once he returns to power.

Last year, Himachal Pradesh experienced huge devastation in the state due to heavy rain and flood. Heavy rainfall in the state has led to several landslides that have blocked roads and highways, stranding scores of people.

Polling in all four seats in Himachal is scheduled for June 1. It will not only pit candidates vying for Lok Sabha membership from four seats but also elect members for six assembly seats that fell vacant following the resignation and switchover of dissident Congress lawmakers. (ANI)
