At a time when the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are locked in a bitter verbal war over former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, his daughter and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said some people are raking up futile issues to dodge questions on income, jobs and farm crisis, without naming any leader from the ruling party.
The Congress in-charge of east Uttar Pradesh said the people knew her family, and her father well, and that she trusted their understanding. She also said that no leader from the Congress spoke negatively or contributed to an increasingly vitiated political campaign.
