PM Modi has given country's 'entire wealth' to 'four or five rich people': Priyanka Gandhi
Priyanka was addressing a rally in support of her brother and Congress' Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat candidate Rahul Gandhi when she criticised PM Modi for favouring big capitalists and not the poor in India
Launching an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a rally in the Congress bastion of Rae Bareli, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accused the PM of being anti-poor and giving the country's "entire wealth" to just "four or five rich people".
On Sunday (May 12), Priyanka was addressing a rally in support of her brother and Congress' Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat candidate Rahul Gandhi.
In her speech, she said though Narendra Modi has been the Varanasi MP for the last 10 years, he has not visited any village there or asked a farmer how he is living.
She also said, "Privatisation is not bad in itself but if the prime minister gives the entire wealth of the nation to four or five rich people, then that is not right." Today coal, electricity, ports and airports of the country are all with the friends of the prime minister, the Congress leader alleged.
Mentioning former prime ministers and Congress leaders Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi, she said they visited villages and asked people about their issues.
"Our prime minister organises big events where you will see many big capitalists but not find a single poor person," Priyanka Gandhi said.
