Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Tuesday that her mother's Mangalsutra has been sacrificed for this country. Addressing a rally in Bengaluru, Priyanka Gandhi said that after the country's independence, the Congress government was in power for 55 years, but no one's gold or mangalsutra was snatched away.
Priyanka Gandhi said, “For the last two days it is being said that the Congress party wants to snatch your mangalsutra and your gold. It has been 70 years since the country gained independence and the Congress government was in power for 55 years. Did someone steal your gold, mangalsutra? During the war, Indira Gandhi gave her gold to the country. My mother's Mangalsutra was sacrificed for this country, the truth is that these people do not understand the struggle of women.
Priyanka Gandhi also accused BJP of taking the public lightly. Priyanka said, “They feel that the public is not checking the data they are talking about, the public will not get to see what the Congress has said in the manifesto, it is available everywhere…” Every One day they come up with something and the other day they say that we (Congress) are working against the country. One day they say we are against religion…While Congress is continuously emphasizing on jobs and education, we are saying in our manifesto that these are the things we want to do.
