Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi today launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying his government was power-drunk and the pre-poll promises of combating corruption and ensuring inclusive development were mere "dramebaazi".
In her address at the 84th Congress Plenary Session, she accused the Modi government of using all tricks in the trade to wipe out the Congress and asserted that the party would never bow down.
She exhorted Congress workers to support new party chief Rahul Gandhi and be ready for any kind of sacrifice to strengthen the organisation.
Sonia Gandhi also asked the workers to free the country of "discrimination, vendetta politics and arrogance".
We are exposing Prime Minister Modi and his colleagues' false claims, frauds and corruption with proof.
"People have now understood that the 2014 promises of 'sab ka saath, sab ka vikas' and 'na khaoonga, na khaane doonga' and his Mann ki Baat' on radio are only 'dramebaazi' (theatrics) and a trick to grab votes and electoral power," she said, referring to Modi's promises of inclusive development and corruption-free governance.
She claimed that the Congress was fighting a "tyrannical" government and the people have begun to realise that the promises made by the BJP in 2014 were hollow
