The BJP attacked Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday for her repeated criticism of Narendra Modi alleging she has benefitted a lot whenever the Congress Government came into power and that is why she was campaigning for the party.
On her recent attacks on Modi, Hussain claimed she is playing the same “cassette” that was earlier run by Congress Ministers, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.The party also took a jibe at her for coming out in support of her husband Robert Vadra and claimed as Congress Ministers had not done so she, being a true Indian wife, is doing her duty.“Whenever Congress Government has come to power, Priyanka Gandhi has benefitted a lot. (Robert) Vadra has reaped a lot of profits. For benefits, one can go anywhere to campaign. No one can stop her. She does not need anyone’s permission for campaigning anywhere,” BJP Spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said.
This is not the first time Priyanka is campaigning, he said, adding she had done so during Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections but the results in Amethi and Rae Bareli were not very good and the Congress had fared poorly.On the defence of her husband, Hussain said, “I feel she is an Indian and follows Indian traditions. It is natural that as a wife she will defend her husband whenever there are allegations leveled against him.”He said, “Since Congress Ministers are not defending Robert Vadra, it is natural that Priyanka is coming out in support of him.”
“No one is taking them seriously anymore. The old carbon copy of what the Congress Ministers used to say earlier, Priyanka Gandhi is saying the same things before the people now,” he said.
