Priyanka ‘chickened out’ from Varanasi: Jaitley
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday took a swipe at the Congress over party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra not contesting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi and said she has “chickened out” and the country has been denied the opportunity to see that “it does not accept inexperienced dynasts with no other credentials”.
In a blog post “Refuge in Wayanad and a Refuge Away From Varanasi – The Story of a Family Dynasty”, Jaitley said that two major political developments took place on Thursday. The first, he said, was the “huge road show” of Modi at Varanasi and the second was “surreptitious announcement” by the Congress of fielding “a political lightweight” against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart.
