She said that the incident reflected the strength of India\u2019s democracy at the time, where even the Prime Minister could be questioned by the people.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cWhen I was 10-12 years old, I saw a woman in Amethi scold my father. She said, \u2018tum Rajiv Bhaiya toh ho hamare, Pradhan Mantri hoge lekin aapne bola tha hamare yaha nal (tap) lagaoge par lagaya nahi abhi tak, hum dobara vote nahi denge aapko\u2019\u2026 He was the Prime Minister of the country, but a woman in a village scolded him; she was not scared. Nowadays, everyone has to fear. If you ask for your rights, you know the police will beat you and the administration will shut you down. That was not the time. The foundation of our country\u2019s politics was laid by Mahatma Gandhi, in which the people are supreme,&#8221; Vadra said as quoted by news agency <em>ANI<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#WATCH<\/a> | Govindganj, East Champaran: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, \u201cWhen I was 10-12 years old, I saw a woman in Amethi scold my father.

We are talking about your rights, your empowerment\u2026 Yesterday, Rahul Gandhi showed that the votes were rigged in the Haryana elections. 25 lakh fake votes\u2026 Today, their arrogance is such that they disrespect your votes. 65 lakh votes have been deleted in Bihar. I can guarantee that if fair elections are conducted here, you people will throw this government and form a new government,&#8221; she said as quoted by the news agency.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Further alleging that the BJP had kept Nitish Kumar away from its stages, she said the Bihar government is run from Delhi. She said the Prime Minister always pointed out the sizes of photos in the Opposition parties\u2019 posters. \u201cNarendra Modi keeps measuring people\u2019s photos in the posters of the Opposition parties. He is the Prime Minister of the country; doesn\u2019t he have any other work?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Meanwhile, polling is underway for the first phase of the Bihar assembly polls and will be conducted till 6 pm.
