Senior BJP leader and Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that Rahul Gandhi didn’t want Priyanka Vadra in Kerala and had, therefore, given her a role in the Assam election.
Speaking to the media in Davos, Switzerland, Himanta said, “Rahul doesn't want Priyanka in Kerala. I was in the Congress for 22 years and have some inside information. Rahul doesn't want the KC Venugopal axis disturbed and has, therefore, given a role to Priyanka in Assam. An MP from Kerala has not been assigned the role in Kerala. What else explains this?”
