Union Minister Arun Jaitley issued a scathing takedown of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra after the Congress ended speculation about her candidature from Varanasi, fielding its 2014 candidate Ajai Rai against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“I am deeply disappointed with the Congress party’s decision of not fielding Priyanka Gandhi from Varanasi,” Jaitley wrote in a blog titled “Refuge in Wayanad and a Refuge Away From Varanasi – The Story of a Family Dynasty”.
“The last two months that she has been in the public life has driven home the point – “India has changed, dynasties don’t matter”. The myths of Priyanka Gandhi stand eroded,” the minister wrote.
