Priyanka attacks Modi, asks people to support Kumari Selja at Ambala
In a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Tuesday said the Mahabharata character Duryodhana too had such arrogance . Addressing a public meeting at Ambala, she also criticised Modi for calling her late father and former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi Bhrashtachari Number 1 (the most corrupt). This country has never forgiven ego and arrogance. History is witness to this, the Mahabharata is witness to this, she said at the meeting in support of Kumari Selja, the Congress candidate from Ambala. Duryodhana also had such arrogance. When Lord Krishna went to make him understand, he tried to take him captive, the Congress general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh said. She read out by Hindi poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, saying wisdom is the first casualty before someone's downfall: Jab naash manush par chhata hai, pehle vivek mar jata hai... Priyanka Gandhi said the people of the country are wise. "You cannot mislead the people. The people of this country make every leader answerable and they will make you answerable as well, she said. She attacked Modi for recently saying that Rajiv Gandhi's life ended as 'Bhrashtachari Number 1'. These polls are not about one family, this election is about crores of families whose hopes and aspirations have been completely broken by this government and the prime minister, she said. Former Union minister Selja is taking on the sitting BJP MP R L Kataria in Ambala.
