"She put facts before govt" Kharge on Priyanka Gandhi's first speech in house - World News Network

New Delhi [India], December 13 (ANI): Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday lauded Priyanka Gandhi for delivering her first speech in the Parliament saying that she presented the facts before the government about how the constitution is being “misused” and lack of women’s protection.
“Excellent speech. Very good. She put all the facts before the Government – how the Constitution is being misused and they are not protecting women and people of this country…We are very happy about her performance,” Kharge said.
Meanwhile, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi called Priyanka Gandhi’s speech “Excellent.”
Moreover, BJP MP Ravi Kishan congratulated Priyanka Gandhi for her first speech and said that PM Modi will answer her questions.
“I congratulate her for speaking in the house for the first time. PM Modi will answer to her tomorrow and all the other opposition leader as well,” Kishan said.
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi also lauded Priyanka Gandhi and said that her speech was better than his.
Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi in her maiden address in the Lok Sabha attacked the ruling government and said that in the last 10 years, the Union government have made all attempts to break down the ‘kavach’ (shield).
Speaking during a discussion on the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India, Priyanka Gandhi paid tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives while protecting Parliament in 2001.
“In the struggle of crores of Indians, in their strength to battle the toughest situations, and in their hope of justice from the country, the flame of our Constitution is burning. Our Constitution is ‘suraksha kavach’ (safety armour). Such a ‘suraksha kavach’ that keeps the citizens safe – it is a ‘kavach’ of justice, of unity, of Right to Express. It is sad that in 10 years, colleagues of the ruling side who make big claims have made all attempts to break down this ‘kavach’. The Constitution promises social, economic and political justice. These promises are a safety armour and work to break this has begun. Through lateral entry and privatisation, this government is trying to weaken reservation,” Priyanka Gandhi said.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised the central government for allegedly favouring one individual (Adani).
“For one person everything is being changed. Today’s government has given all the cold storage to Adani ji, the apple growers in Himachal are crying because everything is being changed for one person. One person is being favoured and 142 crore Indians are being ignored. All the businesses are being given to one person, including railways, and airports etc.” she said.
This is the first time Priyanka Gandhi is part of the house after she secured a comfortable victory with a margin of more than four lakhs votes in Wayanad bypolls. (ANI)
