Congress fumes after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked to vacate government accomodation
New Delhi, July 2 (HS) The Congress on Thursday hit back at Modi government, after it served notice to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to vacate her Lodhi Estate bungalow, saying that it was a “frustrated attempt”.
Congress leader Jitin Prasada said, “I fail to understand the timing of the government’s actions. However, Priyanka Gandhi is on a mission to fight and work for the people of UP and is unfazed and not bothered by these diversionary tactics.”
In a tweet Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “PM, Sh Narendra Modi & his Govt are blinded by rage, hatred and revenge against the Congress leadership. Unnerved by political activism of Priyanka ji in UP, Modi Govt has stopped even further by issuing house vacation notice. Such frustrated attempts will not deter us.”
Congress reaction came after the government on Wednesday asked Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to vacate her government accommodation at 35 Lodhi Estate within a month since she is no longer a Special Protection Group (SPG) protectee, as per government norms.
