Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his ‘mangalsutra’ remark and said her mother’s ‘mangalsutra’ was sacrificed for the country.
Addressing a public meeting in Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru, Priyanka said, “There was a time when a leader would stand up and the people of the country would expect him to be a moral person. They expected morality from him, but today the biggest leader of the country has abandoned morality and is acting in front of you.”
Priyanka Gandhi hits back at PM Modi
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and alleged that the country’s biggest leader has abandoned morality, acts in front of the people and does not follow the path of truth. She alleged that efforts are being made to weaken the opposition by suppressing its voice, seizing its bank accounts and putting two chief ministers in jail.
Priyanka said that you saw the image of ‘Superman’ but you got ‘Inflation Man’. The truth is that the government has not done any work for you in these 10 years.
Addressing a public meeting in Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru, Priyanka said, “There was a time when a leader would stand up and the people of the country would expect him to be a moral person. They expected morality from him, but today the biggest leader of the country has left morality and is doing drama in front of you. There was a time when we expected our leaders to walk on the path of truth.
However, today the biggest leader of the country goes out to show his influence, his pride and his fame, but does not walk on the path of truth. There was a time when leaders were altruistic and service-oriented but now people see only ego in the biggest leader of the country.”
The Congress general secretary said, “In the last 2 days, it has started that the Congress people want to snatch your mangalsutra and gold. This country has been independent for 70 years, Congress was in power for 55 years, did anyone snatch your gold and your mangalsutra? When there was a war in the country, Indira Gandhi gave her gold to the country and my mother’s mangalsutra (Rajiv Gandhi) has been sacrificed for this country.”

He said, “If Modi ji understood the importance of ‘mangalsutra’, he would not have said such things. When demonetization happened, he snatched the savings of women. During the farmers’ protest, 600 farmers lost their lives, did Modi ji think about the ‘mangalsutra’ of those widows? When a woman was paraded naked in Manipur, Modi ji was silent, did he think about her ‘mangalsutra’? Today he is saying such things to women for votes, scaring them so that they vote out of fear.”
