BJP general secretary Bhupender Yadav has sought to downplay the impact Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra may have in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, saying she had been campaigning in the state even in the past polls.
Priyanka Gandhi has in the past campaigned for her brother and Congress president Rahul Gandhi (Amethi seat) and mother Sonia Gandhi who is a member of the Lok Sabha from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh.
Asked what bearing her political entry can have on the elections, including in Uttar Pradesh, Yadav said, "I don't see any impact. She has been participating in poll campaigns earlier too."
Referring to the SP-BSP alliance in Uttar Pradesh and non-inclusion of the Congress in the combine for the Lok Sabha polls in the state, Yadav said, "Those left without any reputation are not being welcomed by any party for alliance."
Yadav rejected the allegations of the Opposition, including the Congress on issues such as Rafale fighter jet deal, saying "The charges have proven wrong. This is clear."
