Here it is to be noted that many leaders of Congress had openly said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra reminded them of her late grandmother. Vadra, who is the Congress's incharge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, had reportedly said she was often likened with Indira Gandhi because people loved the former prime minister. Last month, BJP MP Harish Dwivedi had also made personal comments on Vadra.
Dwivedi had said Vadra wears "jeans and top" in Delhi and "saree and sindoor (vermilion)" when she is on an election campaign. Earlier it is noted that Priyanka Gandhi tweeted in Hindi "While sitting at the Swaraj Bhawan, I can see the room where my daadi (grandmother) was born. My grandmother used to tell me the story of Joan of Arc while putting me to sleep at night. Her voice resonates in my heart even today. She used to say, 'Be fearless. Then, everything will be good',". It was at Swaraj Bhavan where Indira Gandhi was born on November 19, 1917 and spent her early life.
