Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the newly elected Member of Parliament from Wayanad, is set to deliver her first address in Parliament today during a key debate on the Constitution. Sources have confirmed that she will lead the discussion on behalf of the Congress party. She is likely to accuse the BJP of “eroding democratic values” through its governance style and poll strategies. Â
Party insiders have told ABP News, that Priyanka Gandhi’s speech will focus on crucial issues such as reservations, the census, and the demand for a caste-based census.
She is expected to launch a sharp attack on the BJP-led government’s policies, particularly its approach to privatisation and lateral entry, which are weakening the reservation system. Â
Priyanka Gandhi is also likely to question the government’s reluctance to conduct a caste census, asserting that such data is vital for understanding the true socio-economic condition of India’s population.
In her debut Parliament speech, she is likely to accuse the ruling party of diverting attention from pressing issues. Priyanka Gandhi is most likely to highlight the BJP’s election rhetoric which often shifts focus to topics, like ‘wealth distribution to minorities’ and ‘selling off mangalsutras’ to provide minority communities more, instead of addressing the core challenges.
