Congress general secretary and in-charge of Uttar Pradesh (East), Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has made a stunning comment during an election rally in Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur. Addressing a rally, Priyanka Gandhi said, "Ab aap samajh lijiye ke apne duniye ke sabse bade abhineta ko apna PM bana diya hai, is se accha toh aap Amitabh Bachchan ko hi bana dete, karna toh kisi ne kuch nahi tha aapke liye." This translates to, "You have elected world's greatest actor as your PM. It would have been better if you would have made Amitabh Bachchan as your PM."
