Priyanka visit to Sonbhadra is a part of political agenda: Sudesh Verma

BJP National spokesperson Sudesh Verma alleged the Priyanka Gandhi's visit to Sonbhadra was a part of political drama. He added that she doesn't have any sympathy for the victims and her visit was only meant for blazing the political agenda.

New Delhi: BJP National spokesperson Sudesh Verma on Saturday criticised Congress General secretary (Eastern Uttar Pradesh) Priyanka Gandhi for politicizing the killing of 10 people over a land dispute case in Ghorawal area of Sonbhadra district.

He alleged that if the state government has imposed section 144, it means it should be followed by all, then why would Priyanka Gandhi take it as personal.

"If Priyanka Gandhi is a responsible citizen, she must cooperate with the administration to maintain peace in the area. This is not the time to blaze the political agenda", said Spokesperson.

Questioning Priyanka's approach, he said that why she failed to show her emotions at the time when soldiers are martyred.

Sonbhadra, a mineral-rich district in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, is in the news for the past three days as on Wednesday (July 17), 10 people were killed and at least 28 injured in clashes over land ownership in this district.
