Priyanka Chaturvedi, the Spokesperson of the Indian National Congress (INC) of Uttar Pradesh, on the 17th of April, expressed her disappointment with the Party at a public rally.
Priyanka Chaturvedi took to Twitter and said, “Deeply saddened that lumpen goons get preference in @incindia over those who have given their sweat and blood. Having faced brickbats and abuse across the 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.”
The reason behind the disappointment of Ms. Chaturvedi is the action of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee, who took back a few local INC leaders.
Recently, the said local INC leader misbehaved with Ms. Chaturvedi when she was addressing a press conference in Mathura. When she complained about the incident, Jyotiraditya Scindia, the General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in Uttar Pradesh West, took action and fired those leaders.
However, due to the pressure of the elections and the need for local support, Jyotiraditya Scindia allowed the alleged leaders to be a part of the Party again, a decision which upset Ms. Priyanka.
The matter came to light when a journalist raised a question during a conference regarding taking back the leaders.
Vijai Laxmi Sharma, a journalist, took to Twitter and posted about the same.
