New Delhi: Soon after Priyanka Chaturvedi shifted loyalty and joined the Shiv Sena, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said it is a matter of pain for the party and wished her luck for future.
"Every time a party member leaves, it is a matter of pain for us. People look for career progression. We wish all of them well, including Priyanka Chaturvedi... I must frankly and on the record concede, yes, it is a reflection on my leadership," Surjewala said.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "My best wishes to Priyanka Chaturvedi. She has fought lots of battle with Congress. The incident involving her didn't happen during my tenure. The people involved pleaded forgiveness from her."
Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was disappointed over the party's decision to reinstate men who misbehaved with her at a press conference in Mathura last year, on Friday, joined Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena.
