This is the problem with family-driven parties.”
BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “Priyanka Gandhi should have contested from Varanasi.
Her husband Robert Vadra should have contested from Vadodara and other members of the Congress' family of maladministration, who have run away from elections, should also have contested”.
The newspaper quoting senior party leaders had reported that Priyanka Vadra herself wanted to take on Modi in Varanasi, but the party high command nixed the idea.
The report quoting insiders says, Priyanka made a strong pitch to contest from Varanasi because she felt Modi “was bad for the country” and “needed to be stopped”.
