In an interview with news agency PTI, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party and Samajwadi Party saying that they divert attention from central issues like unemployment and inflation and instead talk about terrorism. She also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi only took note of the stray cattle menace ahead of the elections. “We (Congress) have been raising the issue of stray cattle since 2019 and have announced compensation in our manifestos. Suddenly because the election is around the corner the prime minister declares that he has just been informed that this is a big issue- really? People in the entire northern belt of the nation have been suffering huge damage due to stray cattle for years and he has only found out now,” Gandhi said.
