Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “I don't think anybody can prevent her and nobody will prevent her from enlarging her role as and when she chooses to play a larger political role in the Indian political spectrum”.
“She has always defined her own political role and will continue to decide her own role. Priyanka Gandhi by her own calling has chosen to work in the constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareli,” he said.
Reacting to the reports, BJP leader Arun Jaitley said, “Once the incumbent of the family fails, they won't work to make the party more structured but they will look for alternative solutions within the family.
This is the problem with family-driven parties.”
BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, “Priyanka Gandhi should have contested from Varanasi.
Her husband Robert Vadra should have contested from Vadodara and other members of the Congress' family of maladministration, who have run away from elections, should also have contested”.
