In Shahpura, Rajasthan, Priyanka Gandhi has appealed to vote in favour of the Congress party. On Wednesday, the Congress General Secretary alleged that the BJP is corrupt, in response to PM Modi’s claim of alleged corruption in CM Ashok Gehlot’s regime. In order to this, Priyanka Gandhi also made a prediction.
I have heard that PM Modi has made a prediction about Gehlot ji’s government. I also make a prediction- “If Modi ji and his governments keep handing over the country’s wealth to big industrialists like this, then a day will come when you will not be able to handle the public’s anger.”
Further praising the Congress government in the state led by Ashok Gehlot, Priyanka Gandhi counted the government’s achievements.
“The Congress government has saved the people of Rajasthan from the mischiefs of the Centre. Inflation relief camps were organised, loan of farmers worth Rs 15,000 crore waived off, 2,000 units of free electricity for irrigation were given, compensation of Rs 40,000 per cow given in Lampi times, 1 crore people got free electricity, a full meal is available in Indira Rasoi for Rs 8, free treatment up to Rs 25 lakh was provided under Chiranjeevi Yojana and 2 lakh jobs were given. If the Congress government is formed here again, these works will continue to be done, but if the BJP government comes, all the work will stop,” said Priyanka Gandhi.
Further attacking the central government, Priyanka Gandhi said: “When there was Congress government at the Centre, a gas cylinder was available for Rs 400, today it is available for Rs 1200. Earlier, petrol was available at Rs 60 per litre, but now it is available at Rs 110 per litre. Modi ji only gives big speeches and takes your wealth and gives it to big industrialists.”
Watch full speech here:
Supporting the demand of restarting the Old Pension Scheme, Priyanka Gandhi said: “The government withdraws a small amount of money every month from the salaries of government employees. Employees have the hope that they will get this money as pension, and they will be protected. But Modi government is investing this money of the employees. Therefore, there is a demand of government employees that the old pension should be implemented.”
Well, the assembly elections in Rajasthan are scheduled to take place on November 25, in a single phase, followed by the counting of votes and declaration of results on December 3.
