Karnataka Congress launched the ‘Cry PM campaign’, akin to its ‘Pay CM’ campaign in the poll-bound state. The move comes after Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi slammed PM Modi’s remarks about verbal abuse against him. Congress workers widely shared an image of PM Modi’s face on a QR Code.
They also shared a video of Priyanka Gandhi criticizing Modi saying, “This is the first PM we have seen who cries before people saying he is being abused.” Karnataka Congress tweeted, “It is @narendramodi who asks for votes by telling his problems without listening to people’s pain. Have you forgotten that the job of a Prime Minister is to talk about and solve people’s problems? Our leaders Siddaramaiah and Parameshwar were physically attacked by you guys. We never made it an issue! #CryPMPayCM”.
Addressing a rally in Bagalkote, Priyanka taunted at PM Modi saying, “I have never before seen a Prime Minister who does not care about your troubles but comes crying to you instead. His office has made a list. It’s not the list of your problems, but of the alleged abuses that PM insists have been hurled at him.” She said that the Prime Minister should show some strength instead of just crying. “Take a lesson in courage from my brother (Rahul Gandhi) who is ready to take a bullet for the country”.
