'The political circus has only just started': BJP's Amit Malviya hits back at Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's 'Himachal' gaffe

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra

Minutes after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's maiden speech in the Lok Sabha, BJP IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya was quick to highlight a part of her speech, where she hit out at the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh saying that the state government's policies are intended to benefit big corporates and undermine the efforts of the hardworking apple growers of the state.

Sharing the video on X, Malviya said this is another example of her lack of awareness, much like her brother Rauhl Gandhi. "Priyanka Gandhi criticised the Himachal Pradesh government, seemingly unaware that her own party, the Congress, is in power there. This isn’t driven by any noble intent—it’s just another example of her lack of awareness, much like her brother Rahul Gandhi. The political circus has only just started.

In what appears to be a clear slip of tongue, Congress MP from Waynad Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised her own government for making laws for selected corporates and jeopardising the livelihood of apple growers with unfriendly policies.

"For one person everything is being changed. Today's government has given all the cold storage to Adani ji, the apple growers in Himachal are crying because everything is being changed for one person. One person is being favoured and 142 crore Indians are being ignored. All the businesses are being given to one person, including railways, and airports etc." Priyanka said.

In her first Lok Sabha speech, She criticised the Modi government's alleged constitutional violations, prioritising industrial interests over the citizenry. She emphasised the importance of the Constitution as a safeguard for justice and democracy.
