Chandigarh: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra slammed the Narendra Modi government at the Centre on Thursday, saying its governance is only visible in advertisements.
She also accused the BJP and the AAP of using religion and sentiments for political gains.
"Modiji's governance is only in advertisements, there is no governance in the country. Had there been governance, there would have been employment and price rise would not have been there. Had there been governance, PSUs, which generate employment, would not have been sold to his friends," the Congress general secretary told reporters at Pathankot in poll-bound Punjab, where she also addressed a rally.
She said poor people, small traders and small entrepreneurs in the country are facing several difficulties and hitting out at the Centre, asked who is worrying about them.

At the rally, the Congress leader attacked both Modi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.
