Priyanka's appointment shows Rahul's failure: BJP


New Delhi, Jan 23 (IANS): Appointing his sister Priyanka Gandhi in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh ahead of the Lok Sabha polls shows the "failure" of Congress President Rahul Gandhi, the BJP said on Wednesday.

"As the Congress is not being accepted as part of 'mahagatbandhan' in states, a crutch is being searched in the family. Priyanka, who is from his (Rahul's) family, is like a crutch for him," BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.

This, Patra said, was the basic difference between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress.

"Party is the family for the BJP whereas family is the party for Congress. All selections are done in only one family. Somewhere Rahul has failed... Who will be the next after Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi? Only one family! The new India is asking this question."

His remarks came after the Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday appointed Priyanka Gandhi as party General Secretary in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh. She will take charge in the first week of February.

    Priyanka turning up asset for Congress ahead. She is matured and capable to take over responsibilty of the party.
    The move seems a huge setback for BJP and its paid media. Now we can see all negative head lines in prime time debates on priyanka's entry.

    Sambith Pathra, you better concentrate on BJP. Why are you so much interfering about Congress internal matter.
    Recent MP, Rajastan and Chattisgarh election results shows whose failures and which party is successful. Even BJP Nithin Gadkari said, those who take credit for the victory should take the blame of the defeat too. By commenting on Congress appointment, it shows BJP nervousness.

    I will support Priyanka Gandhi including Rahul Gandhi. Wishing Priyanka Gandhi all the success.

    In 2012, Arvind Kejriwal, then an anti-corruption crusader, had also alleged that Vadra purchased at least 31 properties mostly in New Delhi worth more than Rs 300 crore for which money has come from “unsecured interest-free loans from DLF Ltd".

    Of course it does show the failure . Only this morning in the news they showed that the Congress president RaGa was considering on contesting the polls from Chhindwara -Madhya Pradesh - as well as Nanded in Maharashtra - both safe Congi constituencies instead of Amethi. So its obvious what the intention is and what he is expecting from Amethi.

    BJP's comments on Priyanka's appoinment shows its nervousness!!! BJP is worried about the Popularity of Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Sonia, Rahul, Priyanka's vision for India and the SECULAR VIEWS of Congress Party and its members... BJP's views are communal, jumlas, fake promises!!!! Since 56 months INDIANS suffered a lot Economically, Socially and Politically. BJP is after cow slaughter, human lynchings, farmers distress, responsible for mass unemployment, demonetization, intolerance etc. EVERY individual have the right to join any party, Who the BJP to question???

    If Congress manages to win even one other seat other than those two seats in UP, the slaves will declare that priyanka vadra is the next superstar.
    If not, there is always "Moral victory" to fall back on.
    Then there is the permanent "EVM " for loosing.
