Priyanka Gandhi's Jibe At Yogi Adityanath
The Congress general secretary also took a dig at Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath on Saturday over his recent "khoon ki garmi" remarks.
Yogi Adityanath, during an election campaign in western Uttar Pradesh, had said that the "khoon ki garmi" (haughtiness) of Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal leaders will end after the election results come in.
While talking to a man in Aligarh, Priyanka Gandhi quipped that "people say someone has been talking of garmi nikalne ki charbi nikalne ki (eliminating haughtiness)".
"But we (in Congress) are talking of 'bharti' (employment). A number of youths who are standing here are jobless. Around 12 lakh posts are lying vacant in the government," she added, as quoted by news agency PTI.
In a tweet in Hindi, she wrote: "This time vote for those who start 'bharti' (recruitments/employment) and reject 'charbi nikaalne wale' and 'garmi nikaalne wale' (people professing to end haughtiness, arrogance)".
Priyanka Gandhi was in Aligarh to campaign for the Congress candidates in the Iglas and Khair assembly segments of the district. She also took part in door-to-door contact programmes there.
