PM's speeches are khokli, jhoothi baatein: Priyanka

PM cries like a child on his problems rather than wiping tears of people, says the Cong Gen Secy at Nadurbar rally to support Gowaal Padvi

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi tore into Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that his election speeches are “khokli baatein (hollow talk)” and carry no weight. At a rally on Friday to drum up support for Congress candidate Gowaal Padvi from the Nandurbar Los Sabha seat, she said all Modi does is cry like a child, saying he has been subjected to abuse. “What kind of a leader do

you want? The one who walks 4,000km and comes to you to understand your problems or a leader on whose kurta you won’t find marks of dust and is scared to come near you,” she said at the rally in tribal dominated Nandurbar, where a day ago Modi addressed a public meeting and asked Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar to join Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde instead of “dying with the Congress”. She asked, “Do you want a leader who is fearless and speaks the truth irrespective of the pressure or the one who lies throughout?”
