BJP: No curiosity about Priyanka among people
TNN | Jan 25, 2019, 04:58 ISTNEW DELHI: The BJP on Thursday said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's appointment as Congress general secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh may have generated a buzz in the media but it had drawn no response from the region.
Union minister Manoj Sinha, who is Lok Sabha MP from Ghazipur in eastern UP, said Piyanka's appointment was an attempt by Congress to gain some importance in the state as it was in a "bad shape" after being left out of the SP-BSP alliance.
"Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was made a general secretary in Delhi and you people have been discussing it here. But it seems that people of the region of which she has been made in-charge are not noticing it. The curiosity about her is only in media, not among the people," Sinha said. He also played down ally Shiv Sena's praise for Priyanka, saying it was the party's "opinion".
He added that Lok Sabha elections would be fought on performance and stressed that the Modi government had "changed the lives of 22 crore families with its development policies". TNN
