India TV News  

Addressing a 'Mahila Samriddhi Sammelan' in Chhattisgarh, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the Central government, alleging that it is using religion and caste issues to distract people from the country's problems. This is a political conspiracy to not let people raise their grievances,” said Gandhi in poll-bound Chhattisgarh.' Taking to X, the party posted earlier in the day, “Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Ji will address a huge public meeting in the ‘Women’s Samriddhi Sammelan’ organized in Chhattisgarh today.” Gandhi criticised the government's spending on events like the G20 Summit and the Yashobhoomi project while neglecting issues like development, unemployment, and rising essential item prices. The Congress leader said, “The government spent Rs 27,000 crore on the recently-held G20 Summit in New Delhi, spent Rs 20,000 crore on Yashobhoomi, but they won’t be able to answer if you question them on development, unemployment, hike in prices of essential items.” She emphasised that the economically backward sections and the middle class should not be ignored.
