Bhadohi (Uttar Pradesh): Congress General Secretary Priyanka Vadra on Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying no one was happy with his government.
Demanding to know what Modi had done in the last five years, Vadra told the media here: “Be it farmers, youth or anybody, no one is satisfied with the government. Together they will change the government this year.”
Vadra is on a three-day boat ride on the Ganga as part of the Lok Sabha election campaign that will end on Wednesday in Varanasi, prime minister Modi’s parliamentary constituency.
Priyanka Vadra began the day after offering prayers at the Sita Samahit Sthal temple in Sitamarhi.
She was asked to comment on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s claim that the Congress had ruled Uttar Pradesh for most years since the country’s independence and so it was to blame for keeping the sprawling state economically backward.
“This ‘what they did in last 70 years’ has an expiry date. Now the BJP should tell the people what it did in the last five years (after Modi took office).
“Shiksha mitras and anganvadi workers did not get anything. The BJP had announced Rs 17,000 per month for them,” she said.
“It is good to produce report cards but what has actually happened? There is nothing on the ground. I am meeting people daily, they are distressed,” Vadra said.
She spent Tuesday night at a guest house in Bhadohi.
Vadra is expected to reach Chunar in Mirzapur on Tuesday evening.
