Asserting that people of the country want change and are fed up of being “lied” to, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been “using his imagination a lot” in his speeches of late and not speaking on the basis of facts.

Her remarks came a day after Prime Minister Modi claimed the Congress will reverse the Supreme Court verdict on the Ram temple if voted to power just like its landmark 1985 ruling in the Shah Bano case was overturned by the Rajiv Gandhi government as part of the party’s appeasement politics.

In an exclusive interview with PTI while on the campaign trail in Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli from where her brother Rahul Gandhi is contesting the Lok Sabha polls, the Congress general secretary challenged the prime minister to speak on issues of unemployment, price rise and farmers’ plight.
