Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Priyanka Gandhi Shares Emotional Story at Poll Rally

The Congress leader made a statement during the ongoing Lok Sabha election, addressing the row over the alleged wealth redistribution promise. Prime Minister Modi had accused the Congress of making such promises in its manifesto, suggesting that even women’s *’mangalsutras’* would not be spared. However, the Congress, including its president Mallikarjun Kharge, denied these allegations and accused the PM of spreading misinformation.

During a rally in Valsad, Gujarat, Congress leader Ms. Gandhi spoke in Hindi, emphasizing the sacrifices made by past Prime Ministers, including her family members. She mourned the assassinations of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, highlighting their devotion to the country. She also praised Manmohan Singh and Atal Bihari Vajpayee for their contributions.

Ms. Gandhi criticized PM Modi for his alleged lies and attempts to discredit the Congress’s manifesto, particularly its focus on justice (*nyay*). She also accused the BJP of planning to change the Constitution in order to weaken democracy and deprive people of their rights. She pointed out the discrepancy between the party’s initial denials and subsequent actions in the past.

The Congress leader’s comments are significant in the context of the upcoming elections in Gujarat. All 26 seats in the state will be contested in the third phase on May 7, with results to be declared on June 4.
