Wayanad, Nov 30: It was the feeling inside the hearts of the people of Wayanad that brought Priyanka as new member of Parliament, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday.
"I was in Parliament when my sister came for the first time. She is your new member of Parliament. Five years ago, you elected me as your member of parliament, and I thought to myself while she was taking her oath, how she had arrived at this point. Five years ago, I took my oath in the old and impressive Parliament House, but we both took our oaths and made the same pledge. And I realized it was the feeling inside the hearts of the people of Wayanad that brought her to this position," Rahul Gandhi said, addressing a public meeting in Kerala's Wayanad.
He further said that in Parliament he and Priyanka are sitting as individuals but actually more than an individual they both have feelings in the heart of the people of Wayanad.
The LoP attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Gautam Adani issue and said that "he will not indict him." "In the Lok Sabha, we are fighting a political ideology. We are talking about feelings, emotion, affection, love... they talk about hatred, anger, division, violence. The Constitution says that all people should be treated equally. Prime Minister Modi says Adani is going to be treated differently than every other Indian. PM Modi says doesn't matter if Adani has been indicted in the United States, has been called a criminal in the United States. In India, we will not indict him," he said.
Rahul Gandhi said that he is confident that they will defeat the ideology of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
