Modi govt creating atmosphere of distress, promoting hatred in India: Sonia Gandhi
New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on the Modi government, saying it is responsible for creating an atmosphere of distress and hatred in the country.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a video message, Sonia Gandhi said the ruling BJP’s focus on gaining power at any cost has led to unprecedented levels of youth unemployment, crimes against women, and discrimination against Dalits, Adivasis, and minorities.
“Today in every corner of the country, youth are facing unemployment, women are facing atrocities, Dalits, tribals, backward classes and minorities are facing terrible discrimination” she said, adding, “They (the BJP govt) have promoted hatred for political gain”.
The Congress leader said the Modi government’s policies were promoting hatred and rejecting inclusivity and dialogue, resulting in a torn social fabric and a threatened Constitution and democracy.
She urged citizens to reject the proponents of lies and hatred and vote for the Congress for a brighter, more equal future for all.
