Priyanka Gandhi Visits PM Lal Bahadur Shastri's Ancestral Home In Varanasi, Creates Stir - WATCH

IANS, 20 Mar, 2019 07:45 PM

    Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday visited the ancestral home of former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri at Ramnagar here.

     

    Gandhi, who reached here on Wednesday morning by road, garlanded the statute of Shastri at his ancestral home.

     

    She was accorded a warm welcome by party leaders and workers on reaching Varanasi.

     

    BJP leader Smriti Irani Wednesday accused Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of "insulting" Lal Bahadur Shastri as a purported video showed the Congress leader garlanding a bust of the former prime minister during her tour in Uttar Pradesh with the garland she had worn.

     

    Irani wrote a limerick in a Hindi dialect to take a dig at the Congress general secretary in charge of eastern UP.

     
     
     
     

    In her "arrogance", she chose a used garland, clapped, waved her hands and left after insulting Shastri, Irani tweeted, tagging the video.

     

    The BJP leader also took a dig at the Congress over a woman's accusation that the opposition party's workers behaved inappropriately with her.

     
     
     
     
     
     

    It shows real values of the Congress, Irani alleged.

     

    Wrapping up her three-day tour of Uttar Pradesh in Prime minister Narendra Modi's Varanasi constituency, Priyanka called the coming Lok Sabha elections a "new freedom struggle".
