Sonia attacks Modi for using martyr's name

Taking a jibe at the “tone and tenor” of the speeches of Modi, Gandhi said he was speaking as if he had already won the chair of prime minister while election results are yet to be declared.

Claiming that Congress believed in peace, harmony and development of all without any discrimination to ensure a life of dignity, she said that “the path being shown by the BJP is path of discrimination and destruction in which there is noting except I”.

“Your vote will elect the government,” she said and appealed to the people to vote for Congress.

Listing out the achievements of Congress-led UPA government in the past 10 years, the Congress president said, “Unlike the BJP, we do not make false promises and do what we promise.”

Gandhi said the UPA government gave the Right to Education, introduced midday meal scheme, passed Food Security Act to ensure food to people and brought Right to Information Act which gave a weapon to people helping expose many cases of corruption after which the guilty were punished.
