Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a comment attacking the Congress while campaigning for the polls in Rajasthan. In that comment on the Congress manifesto, Modi complained about the persecution of Muslims by the Congress. After that, the Congress approached the Election Commission regarding that comment.
Congress alleges that BJP is spreading confusion about their manifesto. Meanwhile, Modi’s comments in the Rajasthan meeting brought up the issue of Mangalsutra, with which Congress’s Priyanka Gandhi lashed out against Modi within 24 hours.
Priyanka Gandhi said, this country has been independent for 70 years. Congress has been ruling the country for 55 years. Have you ever had your mangalsutra taken away? Indira Gandhi donated gold during the country’s war, my mother’s Mangalsutra is dedicated to the country.
After this, Priyanka said, if Modiji understood the importance of Mangalsutra, then he would not have said this. When demonetisation took place, he took away women’s savings.
600 farmers sacrificed their lives during the farmers’ movement, did Modiji think about their widows’ mangalsutra? When a woman was paraded naked in Manipur, Modiji was silent. He thought about his mangalsutra? He is saying these things for vote, scaring women so that they vote.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi approached the Election Commission about Modi’s speech in Rajasthan.
Earlier in the Rajasthan speech, Modi said, Congress and its allies have an eye on your income and property, Congress prince said, their government will actually find out what you have, investigation will be done, all your property will be controlled by the government and it will be handed over.
