During a public meeting in Sonbarsa, Bihar, on Monday, ahead of the 2025 Assembly Elections, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Addressing the rally, she accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of concealing genuine issues and deliberately distracting the public. She went on to suggest that the Prime Minister should establish a “Ministry of Insults” to meticulously document every instance of alleged disrespect from the Vadra family.
“They always speak of ancient history... and somehow find a way to distract the people by claiming that the opposition disrespects the general public,” she asserted.
She then illustrated her point by citing examples: “When he went to Karnataka, he said that the opposition disrespected the people of Karnataka... A similar thing happened in West Bengal... When he came to Bihar, he said that the entire opposition has disrespected the people of the state.”
Priyanka Gandhi went on to mock Prime Minister Modi, suggesting he create a “Ministry of Insults” to keep a record of all the times he feels he has been slighted. She contended that his time should instead be devoted to creating employment, fostering development, and establishing large industries, rather than pursuing false attacks against the Congress party.
“I want to give some advice to PM Modi, because his time and the Home Minister’s time is extremely valuable and should be invested in working... PM Modi’s time should be invested in creating jobs and opportunities, bringing development, and enhancing the infrastructure of the country... So, I would like to advise him to form a new ministry and name it the Ministry of Insults... That ministry will make a list of all the people who disrespected or insulted him or the country,” she proposed.
She added a further jab, urging him to “build a specific library to record all the time my family has disrespected him... he can fill it up with books.”
The Congress leader further told the crowd that the BJP avoids matters of real consequence and fails to offer transparency. “Their party members don’t talk about you... they don’t tell you if they will provide jobs... They don’t talk about why the education system in Bihar, which used to foster IPS, IAS, and IFS officers for the country, has been shut... They don’t tell you why the exam papers are getting leaked... And they don’t tell you what they are doing to ensure it doesn’t happen... they don’t tell,” she argued.
Turning her attention to women’s empowerment, she questioned the work the BJP has actually accomplished over the last twenty years.
“All my sisters are right here... You work at the farms, come back home, do the house chores, eat food when everyone else has eaten and sometimes don’t eat at all... sleep on an empty stomach... take care of elders and children... You carry a truckload of responsibilities... who is noticing that? Did anyone give you anything? Now that the elections are near, ₹10,000 are being given... where were these ₹10,000 for twenty years? There are no job opportunities, no education system, the women are unsafe, and they do not have opportunities... so, what did they do in twenty years?” she asked.
