Priyanka Gandhi criticises government on issue of demonetization

In Madhya Pradesh, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised the government on the issues of demonetization, alleging that it caused huge job losses and other hardships.

Addressing an election rally at Ratlam yesterday, she dubbed the PM-Kisan Yojana as the 'Kisan Apman Yojana' and claimed the Congress' NYAY scheme, under which people will get 6000 rupees per month, was better.

Congress leader attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying his five-year tenure saw only "campaigning"



and no work. She alleged that he did not find even five minutes in his tenure to solve problems faced by the poor in his constituency, Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh.

"This government's arrogance has grown so much that he reaches out to you only during rallies. He did not find even five minutes in five years to go to the home of a poor person or farmer in his own constituency Varanasi to tell them what he could do to solve their problems through his government," she charged.
