Like brother Rahul Gandhi, she believes a non-Gandhi should be appointed the Congress president, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has said.
Speaking in an interview featured in the book ‘India Tomorrow: Conversations with the Next Generation of Political Leaders’ that has been excerpted by ThePrint, Priyanka spilled the beans over the long-standing debate on who should be the next Congress President.
“Perhaps not in the (resignation) letter but elsewhere, he has said that none of us should be the president of the party and I am in full agreement with him,” Priyanka has been quoted as saying.
“I think that the party should find its own path also,” she added.
In this interview, Priyanka also addressed the corruption allegations raised by the BJP in 2013 against her husband Robert Vadra.
“After all the allegations were made about my husband, my first reaction was to pay a visit to my 13-year-old son and to show him every single transaction,” Priyanka said.
“I explained this to my daughter as well. I don’t hide things from my children, even the mistakes I make or the weaknesses I have. I am very open with them,” she added.
