Comments at PM Modi
Addressing the election rally in Bagalkote district, Priyanka Gandhi, commenting on the PM’s statement, said, “At least they (91 abuses) are fitting on one page; if you look at the abuses by them to my family and if we start making a list, we will publish books after books about it”. Targeting PM Modi, she said PM has a list not about the problems of the people, but about the abuses.
My grandmother, father faced bullets for country
Priyanka Gandhi said, ” It is strange what I’m seeing from the past two-three days. I have seen many Prime Ministers. Indira ji (Indira Gandhi), she took bullets for the country. I have seen Rajiv Gandhi, who sacrificed his life for the country. I have seen PV Narsimha Rao and Manmohan Singh working hard for the country.” But he (Modi) is the first Prime Minister I have seen, who comes before you and cries that he is being abused.
Addressing the election rally in Karnataka, Priyanka Gandhi further said, “Have courage, Modi ji. Learn from my brother Rahul Gandhi. My brother says he is ready to take a bullet for the sake of this country, not just abuse. My brother says he will stand for truth, whether you abuse, shoot a bullet or slap.”
