Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. He said that the Congress was feeling happy “over the induction of a woman with a tainted life partner”.

The remark of  BJP leader come just a day after Priyanka Gandhi formally entered politics.

Deputy CM  also posted a tweet mocking Priyanka Gandhi’s resemblance with her grandmother and former prime minister Indira Gandhi. He told to PTI, “If a person could become as capable as someone else merely by resembling him or her, by now we would have had many more Virat Kohlis and Amitabh Bachchans. Duplicates do not work in politics. Priyanka might resemble Indira, but there is a big difference,”

Commenting Priyanka Gandhi’s husband Robert Vadra, Modi said “Priyanka’s businessman husband’s irregular land transactions are spread across two states and he is facing probes. If the Congress wants to exult over the induction of a woman with a tainted life partner, it is most welcome to do so.”

Priyanka made her formal entry into politics on Wednesday with her brother and Congress president Rahul Gandhi appointing her as general secretary for UP East.
