During the debate on the Constitution in the Lok Sabha, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra fiercely targeted the central government. In his address, he not only underlined the importance of the Constitution but also raised questions on the policies and priorities of the present government. Priyanka Gandhi said, “The Constitution has given the right to every citizen that he can form or bring down the government. This Constitution is the security shield of our country. It is the shield of justice, unity and freedom of expression.”
Center accused of past politics
Priyanka Gandhi accused the central government and said that the people in power are doing politics of the past. He asked sarcastically, “Is the entire responsibility of Jawaharlal Nehru? Does this government have no responsibility at present?” He asked the government what steps were being taken to deal with rising unemployment and inflation in the country.
Priyanka said, “Today the farmers of the country trust God. The government made agricultural laws in the interest of big industrialists. Apple farmers in Himachal are crying because policies are being changed for one person.”
Emphasis on the importance of the Constitution
Priyanka Gandhi said that India’s freedom struggle was based on truth and non-violence and was a unique democratic movement. It included people of every class, religion and language. He mentioned the leaders who contributed to the making of the Constitution like Babasaheb Ambedkar, Maulana Azad, C. Rajagopalachari and Jawaharlal Nehru.
He said, “This government is trying to weaken the Constitution. Steps like privatization and lateral entry are moving towards eliminating reservation. If the results of the Lok Sabha elections had been different, this government would have started the work of changing the Constitution.”
Priyanka’s statement on sensitive issues
In her speech, Priyanka Gandhi mentioned a family from Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh, where two children, Adnan and Afroz, were brutally tortured. He said, “This Constitution gives us the right to stand against injustice, but today this government remains insensitive even on sensitive issues.”
Is Nehru responsible for every problem?
Taking aim at the BJP government, Priyanka Gandhi said that today’s government takes the name of Nehru to hide its shortcomings. He said, “Nehru ji gave a strong foundation to the country. But today’s government is running away from its duties by questioning that foundation.”
issues of farmers and laborers
Priyanka said that government policies are being made only for the benefit of big industrialists. Giving the example of apple farmers of Himachal, he said that the farmers are not getting fair price for their crops. “The agricultural laws have worsened the condition of farmers. This government is only engaged in serving industrialists close to it,” he said.
‘Conspiracy to weaken the Constitution’
Priyanka Gandhi also alleged that the government is trying to weaken the Constitution. He said, “The weakening of the Constitution is being started with privatization and lateral entry. This is a conspiracy to end reservation.”
direct communication with the public
Priyanka Gandhi also addressed the people of the country through her speech. He said, “It is time that the public raises its voice. Ask questions to the government. The Constitution has given us this right.”
Will Priyanka Gandhi’s speech change the politics of 2024?
This sharp speech by Priyanka Gandhi could be a turning point before the 2024 elections. His words have not only excited the Congress workers but have also given a message to the opposition parties to unite.
This speech of Priyanka Gandhi not only criticized the government but also made the public aware of their rights. It will be interesting to see what changes his move brings in politics.
