Union Minister Maneka Gandhi has alleged the example of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, her alienated sister-in-law, while suggesting a way of hostility corruption in her electorate in Uttar Pradesh. On Sunday, the rare praise came at a vigilance meeting the minister held with officials in her constituency Pilibhit.
Mrs Gandhi said "Take out ads then," and went on to explain how Sonia Gandhi used ads to pact with a man who was misusing her name.
She added "Once a relative of Sonia Gandhi opened a shop and started telling people that he was related to her. Sonia Gandhi took out a newspaper ad saying people should not go to this person. You also take out an ad saying whoever wants recognition, should come straight to you. Put up a notice outside your office. We will order a vigilance inquiry against the babus, also we can have CCTV cameras."
Sonia Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi has a bitter past relation for years and the duo who were married to Indira Gandhi's sons Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi, has represent two ends of the political variety.
