Narendra Modi has "crossed all limits in misleading people in his bid to get to the prime minister's chair", Congress president Sonia Gandhi today said continuing her tirade against the BJP's prime ministerial candidate
"Some parties are there whose main agenda is to spread lies against the Congress. Especially, the BJP's leader is crossing all limits to mislead people. To get Prime Minister's chair he is creating a craze in the whole country," Gandhi said here without naming Modi.
"It seems as if they don't have faith in our country's social, political and constitutional system," she told an election rally here in support of party candidate Deepa Dasmunshi who is fighting from Raiganj constituency in North Dinajpur district.
Gandhi alleged that for the chair they started spreading such a big network of lies that it became a matter of concern if the country's democracy was safe in the hands of such people.
The great leaders of the Congress alongwith crores of workers toiled hard and made sacrifices to build the country, she said and asserted that her party had struggled to keep the unity of the country in tact. She said that in the last ten years the UPA government under the leadership of Dr Manmohan Singh had done work for the benefit of all and "it is before you to see".
"Despite the financial problem worldwide, India's growth rate was good. We made policies and programmes and enacted laws for the benefit of all," Gandhi said. Deploring the politics of divisiveness, Priyanka saidIndia was known for its tolerance since it is the land of Buddha and Mahatama Gandhi. The country has accepted her mother Sonia, who was not born here, but now attempts are being made to inject "poison", she said.
"Do you want a country of the Buddha, of Mahatama Gandhi where hindus, muslims, sikhs and christians live together or a country where you fight one another and one community is taken forward while another is left behind and division is created in terms of caste and religion," she asked those present at the public meeting, apparently attacking BJP and its leader Narendra Modi.
She said she was confident that people of the constituency would vote for Sonia as she had always fought for them, which they are "aware of". Priyanka said she was sure that peope would do so not just beacuse they were connected with her family but because they knew of her work. "My mother has always been with you through your struggles and you too have been with her through her struggles," she told the gathering.
"The affection we get from you is sufficient..I believe that you (people) will support Soniaji, but I want that you vote for the country," she said. Priyanka said that Sonia has ensured development of Rae Bareli and this would continue in the same manner.
