New Delhi: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lashed out at party workers for not giving their best to ensure the party’s victory in the Lok Sabha polls.
During her visit to her mother Sonia Gandhi’s constituency Raebareli for a thanksgiving rally, Priyanka who was asked to deliver a speech said that she would only speak the truth.
“I did not want to deliver any speech here but since I have been made to speak, let me speak the truth. The truth is that this election was won with the help of Sonia Gandhi and the people of Raebareli,” a visibly upset Priyanka said.
“You all know about those who worked religiously and I will find out about those who did not work for the party in the elections,” she said.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress suffered a humiliating defeat on all seats, except Raebareli. The party even lost from Amethi constituency, represented by party chief Rahul Gandhi — to BJP’s Smriti Irani.
Earlier, Sonia Gandhi attacked the BJP, accusing the ruling party of “crossing limits of dignity” to retain power and deliver a second successive term in office for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“I feel this is the greatest misfortune that limits of dignity are crossed to retain the power,” she said, also raising questions over the fairness of the electoral process.
