New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday hit out at PM Modi, saying if he had done tapasya, he would not have made such hate-filled comments. After casting her vote along with husband Robert Vadra, she said: “If he (Modi) had done even 50 hours of tapasya, he would not have made such hate-filled comments.”
The Congress General Secretary exercised her franchise at a polling booth in the Vidya Bhawan Mahavidyalaya in Lodhi Estate area in New Delhi. She was responding to a question over Modi’s comment in an interview where he said it was 45 years of tapasya (austerities), “not the Khan Market gang or Lutyen’s club” that had contributed to his image.
Slamming Modi for not speaking on the poll promises made during the 2014 LS election, she said her party’s campaign was not negative as it was of the BJP. “We raked up real issues which were affecting the common people and spoke on their solutions while Modiji kept talking about things that were of no importance.”
“The PM does not reply to the questions posed at him. He should have answered on promises of giving Rs 15 lakh, providing two crore employments every year and also on the income of farmers. He also remaied silent on the challenge thrown by (Congress President) Rahulji (Gandhi) to debate on issues,” she added.
