Leadership recognised in times of crisis: Priyanka Gandhi targets BJP over Rajasthan turmoil

New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday (July 26, 2020) accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre of trying to topple elected state governments during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

She claimed that the citizens of India need a government that works in public interest while the BJP has made clear its intention and character.

Priyanka tweeted, "Leadership is recognized in times of crisis. During coronavirus national crisis the country needs a leadership that works in public interest. But the BJP government at the Center has made its intention and its character clear by trying to topple the governments elected by the people. The public will answer."

संकट के समय नेतृत्व की पहचान होती है। कोरोना के राष्ट्रीय संकट में देश को जनहित में काम करने वाले नेतृत्व की जरूरत है।

मगर केंद्र की भाजपा सरकार ने जनता द्वारा चुनी गई सरकारों को गिराने की कोशिश कर अपनी मंशा और अपना चरित्र साफ कर दिया है।
