She alleged that the Modi government is crafting policies to benefit the prime minister’s friends, rather than the common people. The rights of the tribal people are disregarded, and their lands are taken and handed over to business tycoons. “There is no respect or regard for the tradition of the tribal people. Their lands are snatched from them and given to big business tycoons,” she said.

She said the government is not compassionate toward farmers’ problems. “The government is showing no compassion for our farmers, who work in the fields throughout the day to feed us,” she alleged.
Speaking on the Manipur violence, she said minorities are subjected to attacks there and the government failed to stop it. “Fear, mistrust, and anger are spreading among different communities in the country. We have seen the attacks on minorities. We have seen attacks on minorities in Manipur,” Priyanka said.
The NDA government is engaged in the politics of hatred, she added.
She said the current fight is for Constitutional values, for democracy, and for equality.
