Priyanka Gandhi for the campaign in Uttarakhand
Today, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, General Secretary of Congress, held rallies at Khatima, Haldwani, and Srinagar. Addressing Khatima, she slammed PM for his ‘Congress spread COVID-19’ remark. “The PM said that Congress helped migrant workers and spread Corona across the nation by doing politics. They were walking on roads, no facilities for them.
Would we’ve left them just like that?… Were we doing politics? We were doing our duty…” said Priyanka. She alleged the government for not helping people in the Covid crisis because BJP is not the government of the poor. Instead, it is the government of the pro-rich.
Policies of the entire country are going on just for two industrialists who are friends of the PM. When the Budget comes, it offers nothing for the poor, farmers, middle class, small and medium Businessmen — they are the nation’s backbone,” said Vadra.

Congress is not even ready to consider India a nation (rashtra). BJP will secure the ‘Devatva’ (divinity) of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand”, said PM Narendra Modi in the rally. He added that Congress had been wiped out from many states, and Uttarakhand has the opportunity in upcoming polls.
Elections are approaching. After one day, people will use the most potent weapon in democracy, their vote, which will decide the future of political parties in Uttarakhand. In the poll pitch, parties promise everything, whatever the people ask.
It’s too early to say which promises they will keep and which they will forget. Will they work for people from the core of their hearts, or will they keep playing games with the public? Let’s wait because only time can tell.
