Silent for 77 days: Priyanka slams Modi

Bhopal Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of maintaining silence over Manipur violence for 77 days.

She said that Modi was quick to call the Opposition leaders ‘thieves’, he should have shown the same quickness over the horrifying things which are going on in Manipur. She said that Modi finally broke his silence on Manipur violence but did not miss the opportunity to mix it with politics. “He was quick to call all Opposition party leaders thieves but was silent for 77 days over Manipur. Even when he finally spoke about Manipur, he mixed it with politics by naming those States which are ruled by the Opposition,” Priyanka said while addressing a public rally at Mela Maidan in Gwalior. In her first public rally in Gwalior, the bastion of the Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia whose shifting in BJP resulted in the collapse of the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh in March 2020, Priyanka Gandhi appealed people to “vote for Congress government which can stay for five years.”
