Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also lashed out at the BJP and alleged that the BJP government waive off loans only for their insudtrialist friends. Ms Vadra said: “When you demand old pension from Modi government, it is said – there is no money. If there is no money then where did the money come from to waive off the loans worth thousands of crores of rupees of PM Modi’s industrialist friends? Where did the money for PM Modi’s airplane worth thousands of crores come from? Modi government has money for all these things, but there is no money for farmers and employees.”
The Congress General Secretary also raised the issue of caste-based census in the rally. She said: “Modi ji’s envelope is empty, he only makes false announcements. BJP had said that we will work for SC, ST, OBC, But when we talk about caste census, he becomes silent.”
