Priyanka terms Scindia a traitor

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday attacked Union minister and her former party colleague Jyotiraditya Scindia, calling him a traitor.

Priyanka was addressing a rally to canvass for the Congress candidate in the Datia assembly seat of Madhya Pradesh, which will go to polls on November 17. She said that inflation has shattered the dreams of the people in the state. “Do you know Scindia ji? We worked together in Uttar Pradesh... We the people of UP express our complaints or anger... We vent out everything... We don’t have a habit of addressing (him) Maharaj,” Priyanka said.

She said that workers used to tell her that they had to call Scindia “Maharaj” to get their work done and it was not their (workers) habit. “He (Scindia) has followed his family tradition well… he has betrayed the trust of the people of Gwalior and Chambal region. He toppled your (referring to people) government, which you had voted for,” she said.
