The Congress leader touched on pressing issues like unemployment and land rights while criticizing the BJP's policies. She accused the BJP of awarding local contracts to outsiders, promoting big businesses at the cost of small local enterprises, and ignoring the drug addiction crisis driven by joblessness.
