โ€œPriyanka Gandhi Tried To Misleadโ€: BJP MP Sushil Modi Slams Congress After Poll Defeat

BJP

New Delhi: Following Congressโ€™s poor performance in recent Uttar Pradesh Polls, BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi, targeting Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, said that she tried to mislead women with her โ€˜Ladki Hoon Lad Sakti Hoonโ€™ campaign. He also accused the party of corruption and practicing dynastic politics.

Taking to twitter he tweeted, โ€œPriyanka Gandhi Vadra said she was the face of Congress in UP and tried to mislead women with her โ€˜I am a woman, I can fightโ€™ slogan but the people gave her just 2 seats. Despite this, no Congress leader asked for her resignation from the post of General Secretary.โ€

โ€œA party steeped in dynasty and corruption is only pretending to introspect for many years,โ€ he added.

Modi BJPโ€™s Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar and the stateโ€™s former Deputy Chief Minister, has bitterly criticized the Congress party in a series of tweets since yesterday.

He took a jibe over Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi, who he said was the โ€œde-facto supremoโ€ of the party since there has been no full-time formal chief of the party in many years. He said that Congress has lost the will of saving their party and protecting its internal democracy.

He further said that Congress leaders are not courageous enough to free the party from Gandhis even after failing to win in five states. โ€œThe party will be wiped out even from Rajasthan and Chattisgarh in the next elections,โ€ he said.

The Gandhis proposed to resign during the Congress Working Committee meeting on Sunday, but the CWC unanimously rejected their proposal a senior party leader told news agency ANI yesterday.

Creating New Row, Russia Asks China For Weapons For Ukraine: Report

Aleesha Sam

U.S. officials say Russia has asked China for military assistance for its war in Ukraine, an unusual request that suggests Vladimir Putin has faced more setbacks than he imagined in his invasion.

A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive issues, declined to say what kind of weaponry Moscow had asked from its most important diplomatic ally. The official refused to explain how the government is aware of these facts. The request, according to another US official, is not new and was made shortly after Russiaโ€™s incursion on February 24. A spokeswoman for the White House declined to comment.

This latest twist comes as the U.S. and China plan to hold their first high-level, in-person talks since Russiaโ€™s invasion of Ukraine. The White House said National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will meet in Rome on Monday with Chinaโ€™s top diplomat, Communist Party Politburo member Yang Jiechi.

Itโ€™s part of the Biden administrationโ€™s ongoing pressure on Beijing to exert its influence on Putin to end the crisis and was arranged before news of Russiaโ€™s outreach to China spilled into the public sphere. The Russian Embassy in Washington didnโ€™t respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

As the conflict continues Putinโ€™s campaign has run into difficulties. The question is whether itโ€™s in President Xi Jinpingโ€™s interest to engage with any Russian weapons request and set off Chinaโ€™s biggest foreign policy shift since Richard Nixonโ€™s visit in 1972.

Xi has tried to thread a needle in neither condemning nor supporting Putinโ€™s actions. But while Russia sells far more arms to China than it buys, Beijingโ€™s rapid military modernization has seen it produce more advanced weapons in recent years.

Sending weapons would risk severe economic penalties on Chinese companies and a big escalation in trade tensions with the U.S. at an extremely delicate time.

As the most powerful Chinese leader in decades, Xi is consolidating power and has made stability a priority ahead of a once-in-five-year party congress later this year at which heโ€™s expected to secure a third term in office. China has said it wants a quick resolution to the war, and thereโ€™s no indication it wants to help prolong a conflict that is severely hurting financial and energy markets.
