Priyanka urges people to vote for change in Lok Sabha polls

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has urged people not to get carried away by the words used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speeches and vote for change in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra addressing a poll rally in Uttarakhand’s Ramnagar, said elections should be fought on real issues and not on the basis of empty rhetoric.

“Don’t get carried away by the words used by Modiji in his election speeches. Before casting your vote, you should honestly ask yourself whether 10 years of the Modi government have really brought about a positive change in your lives,” she said.

Ever-growing unemployment, uncontrolled inflation and paper-leak scams are the truths of people’s lives and the BJP-led government is responsible for these as it has been in power for the last 10 years, she added.

Priyanka Gandhi also said people should ask Modi who is protecting the killers of resort receptionist Ankita Bhandari and the woman from Unnao in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.

The Congress leader reminded people that commitments, such as two crore jobs to youngsters and depositing Rs 15 lakh in the bank accounts of every citizen, remain unfulfilled.

She also said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is using religion in every election for votes.

The Lok Sabha polls are scheduled to be held in seven phases starting April 19 and the counting of votes will be taken up on June 4.
