On her brother Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi said, "One man walked from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to unite the country and show you the way to peace, harmony and progress. He fought for the truth and raised his voice against injustice, and the CM of Kerala only attacks him."
The Kerala CM only attacks my brother and the Congress party. He never attacks the BJP. His name came up in a number of scams, but the BJP govt never put cases against him.

Turning to socio-economic issues, Gandhi highlighted the plight of Kerala's citizens, citing soaring fuel prices, inadequate support for farmers, and the struggles faced by fishermen. She said, "1 out of 3 youngsters is unemployed. All the jobs go to party workers. 21 lakh people have been forced to leave their hometown to look for employment. The situation has become so difficult that many youngsters from Kerala are forced to go and work in war-torn areas."
