Priyanka Gandhi On Why She's Not Contesting Against PM Modi | Read

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra broke her silence today on not contesting the national election from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After months of build-up, the Congress announced last week that not Priyanka Gandhi but Ajay Rai, a local Congress leader who had finished third in the 2014 polls, would be the party's candidate again in the temple town. "I did not pull out (of Varanasi)," Priyanka Gandhi asserted, speaking to NDTV in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi, where she was campaigning for her brother Rahul Gandhi, the Congress president.
