Guwahati, May 4: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, strongly criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him an ‘Shahenshah’ (emperor) who lives in luxury and cannot relate to the struggles of ordinary people. She used the term ‘Shahenshah’ in response to Modi repeatedly calling her brother, Rahul Gandhi, a ‘Shehzada’ (prince).

Sqpeaking at a rally in Banaskantha, Gujarat, Priyanka Gandhi highlighted her brother’s efforts to connect with people and listen to their problems. She contrasted this with Modi, whom she described as living in a palace and always appearing spotless on television, suggesting he is out of touch with the realities faced by ordinary citizens.

“They call my brother Shehzada. I want to tell them how this shehzada walked 4,000 km from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to listen to your problems…he met my sisters, brothers, farmers and labourers and asked them what problems they have…,” Priyanka Gandhi said while speaking at a rally in Banaskantha in Gujarat.
She added, “On the other side is your shehanshah, Narendra Modi, who lives in a palace. Have you watched him on television?…Not a single speck of dust is visible on his face…How can he understand your problems?.…”
