New Delhi: A day after Priyanka Gandhi said that her estranged brother and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Varun Gandhi has strayed on the wrong path, Maneka Gandhi retorted on Sunday and said that the nation will decide as to who has strayed from the path while serving the country.
"He (Varun Gandhi) is definitely from my family, he is my brother. But he has gone astray. When a young one in the family chooses the wrong path, then the elders show them the right path, the right way. I urge all of you to show my brother the right path," Priyanka had said, as per a PTI news report.
The attack on Varun was made by Priyanka as she addressed party workers during her visit to Sultanpur on Saturday when she accompanied Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi as he filed his nomination papers from Amethi.
Priyanka was accompanied by Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Robert Vadra during her visit to Amethi where Rahul filed his nomination papers.
While addressing the people, she also added that Varun needs to be led into the right direction. Significantly, Varun is contesting Lok Sabha polls from the Sultanpur constituency on a BJP ticket.
The comment by Priyanka was made after the 34-year-old BJP candidate had praised the development work done by Rahul in Amethi.
Soon after the remark was made, his mother Maneka Gandhi said that whatever he had said was wrong and there was no development work in the constituency. Varun Gandhi then backtracked and said that his statement should not be considered as an endorsement of any political party or candidate.
