BJP slams Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's new role as Congress general secretary of UP East, says dynastic politics at play

Reacting to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s formal entry into active politics after being appointed the AICC general secretary of Uttar Pradesh East, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sambit Patra said, "This is not a challenge for BJP. This was expected. It's family dynasty and reflects that Rahul Gandhi has failed. And in future, Robert Vadra too will enter politics. Only a Gandhi can become president of the party." "The Congress party is a family party, there is no doubt about it. After being rejected from the 'Mahagathbandhan' everywhere, the party has sought a crutch from within their own family," he also said.

BJP national spokesperson and MP GVL Narasimha Rao said on Twitter, "Priyanka Vadra (Gandhi) as @INCIndia Gen Secy for UP East is the MOST UN-EVENTFUL NEWS of 2019. Yet, for sychofants this is BIG; EARTHSHAKING, GROUNDBREAKING. "Priyanka card" was played before every election. It flopped each time. Perils of Parivar Politics: FAIL & THRIVE. Pity!!"

It's unsurprising that they are continuing the dynasty politics, says BJP leader Chandra Bose. While Union Minister Smriti Irani said, "Congress has accepted Rahul Gandhi's failure."

JPNadda, the BJP in-charge of Uttar Pradesh said, "Priyanka Gandhi officially becomes General Secretary of Congress , but everyone knows how this household company works. It is also first official declaration from Congress that Rahul ji has failed, he should tell what is his view of Parivarwadi soch?"
