Rae Bareli,Taking a dig at Narendra Modi, Priyanka Gandhi today said a
56-inch chest is not needed to run the country but a "big heart" and
"moral strength". The Congress star campaigner was taking a jibe at
BJP Prime Ministerial candidate's 56-inch chest remark during a rally in
Gorakhpur recently. "A 56-inch chest is not needed to
run this country, a big heart is needed to run it. To run this country cruel
force of power is not needed, but moral strength is needed. It needs an
internal strength," Priyanka said while addressing a meeting here.
"Such type of strength
is needed, which could even sacrifice life to save the culture of the
country," she said. Modi had said during the Gorakhpur rally that it would
take a "56-inch chest" to convert UP into Gujarat. "Netaji
(Mulayam Singh Yadav), do you know the meaning of converting UP into Gujarat?
It means 24-hour electricity, no power cut for 365 days in every village and
street. You can't do it. You don't have the guts to turn UP into Gujarat. It
takes a 56-inch chest," Modi had said.Priyanka said this is the country of
Mahatma Gandhi and people of all religions, including Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs,
Christians, Buddhist, Jains, sacrificed their lives for its freedom."Dalits
and tribals sacrificed their lives for its freedom," she said."This
is your country and you are its guard. This is my country and the blood which
runs in my veins has mixed with its soil," Priyanka said, adding, "It
your duty to protect the country and the 'dharma' of my family".
