Lok Sabha elections: In a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday lashed out at the PM over his “gold and mangalsutra” remarks, saying her mother Sonia Gandhi sacrificed her ‘mangalsutra’ for the country.
“What talks are happening in this country? Two days back there were speeches that Congress wants to snatch your ‘mangalsutra’. This country has been free for the past 75 years, and 55 years Congress was in power. Did Congress ever snatch your gold or ‘mangalsutra’?,” she asked at an election rally. In a sharp attack on Modi, Priyanka said: “When there was war, Indira Gandhi (her grandmother and former prime minister) donated her gold.”
