Congress media cell convenor Priyanka Chaturvedi on Wednesday went public to slam her party for reinstating a group of Uttar Pradesh leaders who had allegedly misbehaved with her during a recent event at Lucknow.

“Deeply saddened that lumpen goons get prefence in @incindia over those who have given their sweat&blood. Having faced brickbats&abuse across board for the party but yet those who threatened me within the party getting away with not even a rap on their knuckles is unfortunate,” tweeted Congress spokesperson Chaturvedi, who had complained to the Congress leadership against a set of leaders who indulged in “objectionable conduct” with her when she had gone to Lucknow some days ago do hold a press conference on the Rafale matter.

Chaturvedi was reacting to an order of UP Congress reinstating the suspended leaders.

The order said the disciplinary action initiated against a set of UP Congress leaders was being revoked after they regretted their behaviour before AICC general secretary West UP Jyotiraditya Scindia and promised not to repeat their conduct.
