PM needs to change angle of his heart, not angle of cameras: Priyanka in Lok Sabha
Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha, arguing that the government's focus on optics fails to address the concerns of Gen Z. She highlighted issues regarding paper leaks and the use of force against protesting students.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political friction in India regarding youth unemployment, education system failures, and the government's handling of student protests.
Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi , Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday (July 28, 2026) said if he wants to win over the Gen Z then videos changing camera angles won't help as this generation has the enormous ability to identify "lies".
Participating in a discussion in Lok Sabha on 'The Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill 2026', the Congress general secretary said the government needs to take concrete steps by taking all stakeholders along to put a new education system in place.
"If you want to win over the Gen Z, then making videos with different camera angles will not help. The Prime Minister needs to change the angle of his heart, not the angle of cameras," she said.
"Injustice has been done with youths under your government, accept the truth. Prime Minister Narendra Modi must take responsibility," she said.
