Raebareli(UP) | Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday said that BJP is their main adversary and that they would always fight them in politics.
Priyanka Gandhi Varda, campaigning for her mother in Raebareli told reporters, “Ideology of Congress & BJP is poles apart. We’ll always fight them, they are our main adversary in politics”
“We’ve made sure not to benefit BJP in any way. We’re fighting strongly, our candidates are strong”, she added.
The Congress announced last week that not Priyanka Gandhi but Ajay Rai, a local Congress leader who had finished third in the 2014 polls, would be the party’s candidate again in the holy town.
Clearing the move that was seen by everyone as a step back because she cowed, she said,” See there is a lot of work… Had I contested from Varanasi I would have been confined just to that one constituency. Every candidate wants me to go campaign for them. I cannot disappoint them”.
Initially, there were hints from Congress that the party President’s sister would contest from Varanasi against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The BJP has also termed the move as an act of cowardness.
