'Hatred being spread'

Priyanka targets Modi as Congress kicks off polls campaign from Gujarat; Mamata releases TMC list for all Bengal seats

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in her first rally as a Congress leader, addressed an audience in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Gujarat and appealed: "Your vote is your weapon. Make the right decision, ask the right questions."
In the few words that marked her first election speech, the newly-minted Congress general secretary targeted PM Modi without once taking his name.
The April-May national election, she said, was "nothing less" than the Independence movement.
"Think and decide - those who talk big in front of you, where are the jobs they promised? What about the Rs 15 lakh in every bank account that they talked about? What about women's safety?" she said at the rally in Ahmedabad, dressed in a white and blue sari.
Giant cut-outs of her grandmother Indira Gandhi at the venue in Gandhinagar reminded many in the crowds of her striking resemblance to the former prime minister.
"Those who talk about fitrat (nature), the fitrat of this country is to seek the truth, the fitrat of this nation is to blow away the winds of hate with love," said the 47-year-old, using a word that PM Modi had used quite recently.
In the next two months, said
Priyanka Gandhi, "they" will raise all kinds of issues. "Ask the right questions, this is your country. You have to guard the country," she said.
"This is nothing less than the independence movement. Our institutions are being attacked, hatred is being spread everywhere. There can be no bigger thing than guarding the country and moving ahead together," Priyanka said.
Priyanka Gandhi's first-ever political rally outside the Gandhi
family constituencies in Uttar Pradesh followed her debut in the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting earlier yesterday. After years of campaigning in her brother Rahul Gandhi's Amethi and mother Sonia Gandhi's Raebareli in UP, this was her first election outing.
Meanwhile, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee yesterday announced the list of Trinamool Congress candidates for all the 42 Lok Sabha seats in the state, dropping 10 current parliamentarians.
Allotting 41 percent of the tickets to women, the list included a number of Bengali celebrities like Mimi Chakraborty and Nusrat Jahan.
Among those not in the list are Harvard University professor and eminent historian Sugato Bose -who had earned praise for his speeches during his first stint in parliament.
