‘I sacrificed my Manu Mangalsutra for the country, my grandmother gave me gold’, Priyanka Gandhi targeted PM Modi

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi has hit back at PM Modi’s ‘Mangalsutra’ statement. Addressing a rally in Bengaluru, Priyanka Gandhi said that the Congress government remained in power for 55 years but till then no one snatched anyone’s gold or mangalsutra. Today they are saying such things to women for votes.

Recently, while addressing a rally in Banswara, PM Modi had said that Congress is now eyeing the Mangalsutra of women. The PM said that if Congress comes to power, it will distribute public property among the minorities.

Now hitting back at PM Modi, Priyanka Gandhi said, “For the last two days it has started that the Congress party wants to snatch your mangalsutra and your gold from you. It has been 70 years since the country got independence and it has been 55 years.” Congress government, someone stole your gold, mangalsutra?

Priyanka further said that when the war happened, Indira Gandhi gave her gold to the country. My mother’s Mangalsutra has been sacrificed for this country. The truth is that these people (BJP) do not understand the struggle of women. If PM Modi had understood the importance of Mangalsutra, he would not have said such things. When a farmer gets into debt, his wife mortgages his mangalsutra. Women mortgage their jewelery when their children get married or they need medicine. These people don’t understand this. The proof of this is that where was Modiji when demonetization happened and women’s savings were taken away?

600 farmers were martyred in the farmers’ movement, but what about the mangalsutra of the farmers’ wives? When a soldier’s wife’s clothes were removed in Manipur. Did they think about her mangalsutra? He did not blink an eye and today he is saying such things for the sake of elections and votes.

Priyanka said that if you were concerned about the mangalsutra of the women of the country, you would have provided employment to their sons, reduced inflation, provided education to the students and helped the daughters of the country to stand on their feet.

Priyanka said that the country is watching with surprise. There are many big problems. Unemployment has increased. Still he says such small things. Priyanka said that BJP leaders never talk on employment, education and health facilities, but only on provocative and diverting topics.

Priyanka said that people say that Modi is the greatest leader in the world. With so much power, pride, fame and ego it is said that Modi can stop the wars going on in the world in a moment. If he is such a big leader, if he has so much influence that no one can question him, then why has he failed to create employment for you, why has he failed to bring down inflation?

Priyanka said, “You should listen carefully to those who talk about changing the Constitution because it will have a direct impact on your life. Efforts are being made to weaken democracy. Today there is talk of changing the Constitution. What will happen if the Constitution is changed, will your rights be weakened?
