One Favoured, 142 Crore Ignored’: Priyanka Lambasts Govt on Adani Issue in Maiden LS Speech

The Wayanad MP also accused the NDA government of weaponising investigative agencies to silence dissent. 


NEW DELHI — Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in her debut speech in the Lok Sabha, attacked the BJP government alleging undue favouritism toward industrialist Gautam Adani at the expense of the Indian populace.

Gandhi accused the government of prioritising the interests of one individual over the welfare of 142 crore citizens.

“The country’s wealth, airports, and land are being handed over to benefit one individual while poor Indians are left to suffer. This blatant misuse of public resources is unacceptable.”

Gandhi also accused the NDA government of weaponising investigative agencies to silence dissent. “False cases are being filed against Opposition leaders to stifle their voices. This misuse of power is an attack on democracy,” she said.

The Congress leader’s statements are part of the party’s broader campaign to hold the government accountable on issues of transparency and governance.

Opposition parties have repeatedly accused the NDA of using central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to target political rivals.

The Congress MP also emphasised the unique nature of India’s independence movement, which was rooted in the principles of truth and non-violence.

She also lauded the Indian Constitution as a transformative force that empowered citizens to recognize their rights and demand justice.

“The Constitution gave people the strength to understand that they have the right to justice and the capability to raise their voices against the government when necessary,” Priyanka added, stressing its role in upholding democracy and accountability.

Priyanka Gandhi said that if the NDA manages to win more seats, it would surely change aspects of the Constitution and deprive the poor people and the tribals of their rights

Priyanka also accused the government of being indifferent to the plight of farmers. “Farmers in the country are crying, but the government doesn’t care about them,” she said.

The Wayanad MP also criticised the BJP for focusing on the past instead of addressing present challenges. “The BJP keeps blaming former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, but it has done nothing to implement the necessary and important changes the country needs,” Priyanka remarked.
