Congress hits out at Modi Govt over house vacation notice to Priyanka Gandhi

The Congress on July 1^st, 2020, slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government for sending a house vacation notice to general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, saying neither she nor the Congress leadership will be cowed down by such moves.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, “PM, Sh. Narendra Modi & his Govt are blinded by rage, hatred and revenge against the Congress leadership.”  

"The BJP government's deep hatred and sense of vendetta for Congress leadership are well known to all. They have now touched new lows. The notice of vacation of Priyanka Gandhi's house signals the anxiety of PM Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath. We will not be cowed down by these petty decisions of a frustrated government," he said in a video message shared on Twitter.

The government on July 1^st, 2020 asked Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to vacate her bungalow in Lutyens' Delhi within a month, saying she is not entitled to the facility following the withdrawal of her SPG protection.

It had in November last year replaced the Special Protection Group (SPG) cover of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her children Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, with Z-plus security by the CRPF.

Mr Surjewala said the entire country has seen how some time ago the SPG security of the family of former PM late Rajiv Gandhi was taken away. PM Modi has also taken away the security of two former prime ministers - Manmohan Singh and HD Deve Gowda, he said. "The Congress leadership and former PMs have been warning this failed government against its anti-people policies," he said, adding that they will continue to do so in future.
