NEW DELHI: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi took a jocular stance on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent accusations of “wealth redistribution” on Saturday, likening them to the ramblings of an uncle at weddings.
Addressing a rally in Gujarat’s Valsad, Priyanka Gandhi responded to PM Modi‘s claims by humorously imagining a scenario where an “Uncle Ji” warns about the Congress stealing jewelry and distributing it to others.She remarked that such statements would likely be met with laughter rather than concern.
Gandhi criticized PM Modi’s rhetoric, suggesting that he resorts to such tactics because of the weight his position carries. “Today the prime minister of the country is talking such nonsense to you because he thinks people will take his words seriously given the importance of the post he holds,” she said.
In the past few days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shifted his line of attack – from dynastic politics and corruption to the Congress’s alleged plan of wealth redistribution and inheritance tax.
Priyanka Gandhi, in her rally, specifically addressed Modi’s recent focus on wealth redistribution and inheritance tax, dismissing them as nonsensical and suggesting they stem from anxiety. “He is now warning people that Congress will enter their houses with an X-ray machine to conduct a search, then snatch your ornaments as well as ‘mangalsutra’ kept in safes and give it away to others. Is that even possible? Is he doing this out of nervousness,” Priyanka Gandhi responded.
Moreover, she also targeted Modi over inflation, labeling him as a “mehengai” man.
Rahul Gandhi also took aim at Narendra Modi over his claims. “You have heard the prime minister’s speeches. He is scared. It’s possible that he may shed tears on stage,” he said on Friday.
