Speaking at the Congress rally against inflation in Jaipur on Sunday, Priyanka Gandhi attacked Narendra Modi and called him "our tourist Prime Minister". She said, 'Our tourist PM roamed the whole world but didn't go ten kilometres away to meet our [protesting] farmers. This is the type of government we have."
Further, she said, "Crores of rupees go into advertisements in Uttar Pradesh, but not for the welfare of the farmers. The central government does not want the welfare of the people. The government is only working for a few industrialists."
"The government that Congress built for several decades is being sold to a few select industrialists. Tell me, what have you done in seven years?" Priyanka Gandhi continued.
She also alleged that the central government does not tell the truth but only misleads and that the ruling BJP talks about diversionary things like religion but not development when elections are near.
ON INFLATION
At the Mehengai Hatao rally, Priyanka Gandhi addressed the audience, "I know life has been tough for you due to inflation. You all have come to this rally because your daily life has become difficult.
"Ask why there is so much inflation in the country. This is your responsibility. The government has a huge responsibility towards you - your development and taking you forward. Then it is your responsibility to ask for a strong future from the government," she added.
Finally, Priyanka Gandhi said, "This is my fight, my brother Rahul Gandhi's fight and you all have to fight with us."
TRIBUTE TO CDS GEN RAWAT
At the rally, Congress leaders paid tribute to late Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat by observing silence. He, along with his wife and eleven others, lost his life in a helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu on December 8.
