She also pointed out that 10 years have gone by since the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) was announced, reported PTI.
"Their (Centre's) schemes are hollow, whereas the schemes of the Congress government (in Rajasthan) are being implemented on the ground," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said while addressing a public meeting in Jhunjhunu district of poll-bound Rajasthan.
She said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has understood that talking about religions and castes during polls will get votes for it, reported PTI.
"The Centre tries to suppress people. It only wants to be in power and secure its future," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said.
She also alleged that the BJP-led Centre is running for a select few industrialists and there is no hearing of public issues in this government, reported PTI.
The 200-member Rajasthan Assembly will go to polls on November 25 and the counting of votes will be taken up on December 3.

"A video is viral from Bayana, Rajasthan's Bharatpur, where a person named Nirpat was murdered by running a tractor over him," Patra said while addressing a press conference in the national capital.
This comes after a man was crushed to death with a tractor in Bayana town in Rajasthan's Bharatpur District on Wednesday. The incident was caught on camera, and the video went viral on social media.
