Sir — The ‘Vadra’ surname is a millstone round Ms Priyanka Vadra’s neck as Mr Robert Vadra is involved in many deals which are being questioned. Perhaps the reason why the demand for her ‘taking over’ has not really taken off is because there are no signs of the desperately-sought mandatory nod from Ms Sonia Gandhi coming. Thus, it is more of the same, with the family nominating Mr Mallikarjun Kharge as the party’s leader in the lok Sabha and pulling strings from behind. Mr Kharge’s mandate is to speak loudly and as much as possible from the Opposition benches.
