Hundreds of posters terming Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as emotional blackmailer has surfaced in the Raebareli district of the Uttar Pradesh. The Rae Bareli is the Lok Sabha constituency of former Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
As per news agency IANS, the posters showed her as “missing”, and said while many tragedies struck the constituency since her last visit, Ms. Vadra has not bothered to reach out to the people in the Congress borough where she is seen as her mother’s heir.
In a reference to her last-minute visits to Rae Bareli during successive polls and trying to pitch in for her mother by striking the emotional chord of the relationship of the Gandhis with the area, the posters also called her an “emotional blackmailer”.
They said Ms Vadra plays with the sentiments of the Rae Bareli people only to garner votes. Carrying pictures of Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s sibling the posters also asked her when she would visit Rae Bareli next.
These posters have been plastered on walls on major thoroughfares, markets, public places in Rae Bareli like Tripula square and Hardaspur. They questioned her absence after major train accidents, including at Harchandpur, and the NTPC blast in Unchahar.
Congress leaders and workers called the posters yet another “dirty trick” by opponents who were petrified by the “comeback prospects of the Gandhis and the party to power in 2019 (after the Lok Sabha polls)”.
