Neither love, nor respect in anything BJP does: Priyanka

Amethi/Rae Bareli, May 2

True nationalism means love of the people and for the country, but the BJP mirrors neither love nor respect in anything it does, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has said.

Stepping up her attack on the BJP and PM Narendra Modi for failing to address real issues, she said there will be consequences if the voice of the people is drowned by the voice of one leader.

In an interview, the Congress leader also said there is growing “public anger and pain” for which the people will give a message on May 23.

“Nationalism means solving the problems of the people. The greatest patriotism of any politician, of any government, would be to be able to hear the people when they speak, would be to be democratic, to be able to strengthen the institutions that strengthen the public voice, not weaken it,” Priyanka Gandhi said. 

“Wherever I go, I see a lot of public anger, pain, which has not been addressed,” the Congress leader said.

“Any leader, if public pain is not addressed, if voice of people is drowned by the voice of one leader or by the kind of ideology they have, they will have to suffer consequences.” — PTI

‘Targeting us methodology of their politics’

This is part of BJP politics (targeting Gandhis). They have targeted every person who has spoken against them. This is the methodology of their politics and it is the methodology of an undemocratic mindset. —Priyanka Gandhi, Congress leader
