NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, openly acknowledged in the House that his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, accomplished in five minutes what he has been unable to achieve in 20 years, and that he has much to learn from her in political life.
His zestful remarks in the House, first about Priyanka Gandhi and then about his similarity to the Prime Minister, left the members bursting into laughter.
“My sister achieved in 5 minutes what I couldn’t do in 20 years. Yesterday, I watched her speech and felt proud of her. She made the Home Minister Amit Shah smile, ” he said.
Further drawing an analogy, he said that the Prime Minister and he don’t have family issues -- again sending the House into peals of laughter.
On Thursday, Priyanka Gandhi made a forceful counter to the government’s defence on the introduction of three bills and took a ‘Chanakya’ swipe at the Home Minister, leaving the latter smiling.
