Lucknow: Amid media reports of Priyanka Gandhi leading poll campaign in Uttar Pradesh for the upcoming Assembly election, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today shrugged off the development saying it makes no difference if the face of the election is Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka, as the Congress Party has lost its relevance now.
"Now this is their next trump card. First Sonia ji failed, then Rahul ji came. Now if Priyanka ji comes, then it means the Congress thinks Rahul ji is a failure. The Congress is living with a hope, but I think it will only get disappointment in Uttar Pradesh," BJP leader Dinesh Sharma said.
"The Congress won't get much in Uttar Pradesh and they have nothing to lose as well,"he added.
Another BJP leader Nalin Kohli echoed similar sentiments and questioned the role of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh.
"In Uttar Pradesh, do they have any relevance.because they have already ousted themselves from the politics of Uttar Pradesh?" he told ANI.
He said the Bharatiya Janata Party's agenda is what Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government does.
"We are on the agenda of development and performance. The Congress cannot bring anyone but it's always funny to find that the media will keep discussing it because some people will keep throwing it in the media. Why do they keep introducing? If they want to bring someone, they should bring," he added.
Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Tuesday refuted rumours of possibility Priyanka Gandhi leading the poll caimpagn saying that the information was incorrect.
"I don't know, who is running or spreading this information that Priyanka would lead campaign committee as chairmen. This information is not correct. There are several ideas and proposal on which deliberation is going on. If she wants to come during the campaign that is different," he said.
