Addressing the gathering at the Ambedkar Chowk, Baghel alleged the ruling party failed to control inflation. He slammed the centre for illicit acquisition of funds being paid citizens of India in the form of tax. Fiercely targetting the Modi govt, Baghel said-we will fight for the rights of the common man.
Earlier in the day Congress President Mohan Markam also addressed the party workers and resonated with the Former Congress President. He targeted the centre on the recently imposed GST on food items.
Meanwhile, in the National capital, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and several others were detained. They were dragged into vehicles from outside the party HQs where they protested. Before pulling Priyanka Gandhi into a vehicle, police were seen trying to persuade her to end the protest. But she refused to move, gesturing to cops that she has a right to protest.
In a video tweeted the party — apparently while going towards the party office — Priyanka Gandhi says, “The government thinks it can silence us. It thinks that showing us this (police) force, it can make us quietly sit in buses… But we have a purpose.
