Raebareilli: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on December 19th addressed women in a rally at Raebareilli. In her address, she slams BJP and says that the Centre instead of solving problems is tapping the opposition’s phone.
Echoing Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Priyanka Gandhi said instead of finding a solution to the problems the public is facing, the current Uttar Pradesh government is “tapping the phones of the Opposition”. Addressing women at the ‘Shakti Samvaad’ rally, Gandhi said, “What is a govt’s work? To develop, understand & find solutions of the problems of the public, & stop the atrocities, instead, this govt is tapping the phones of the Opposition.”
At the ‘Mahila Shakti Samvad’, Priyanka Gandhi said that after Congress came out with its manifesto on women, all other political parties also started announcing (benefits for women).
“For the first time, the Prime Minister is going to hold a meeting of women only. I am very happy. With a small initiative, all the parties are thinking about women,” she said.
She believes that women of UP are facing much oppression. Remembering the Unnao and Hathras rape case, she said, “The women of the state are facing so much oppression,” at the ‘Mahila Shakti Samvad’. Gandhi also spoke about a farmer in UP whose suicide added to the woes of the women in his family, who now had to fend for themselves.
Samajwadi Chief Akhilesh Yadav too had alleged that the Centre is tapping opposition’s phones. “Our phones are being tapped — of Samajwadi Party’s office and associated people. CM listens to these recordings every evening. This is the “unupyogi sarkar” (CM Yogi-government),” Akhilesh Yadav said in a press conference on Sunday.
Training his guns on UP CM Adityanath, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said Yogiji should remember his government will soon be out of power. These tactics show you’re convinced of your defeat, he added.
“Aapne chaapa maarke ye bataa diya hain ki samajwadi log hi aarhe hain. (Your searches have proved that SP people will come to power)”, he said.
