PRIYANKA joins Shiv Sena, says she was brought up under the influence of this party since childhood ?
The humiliated n infuriated Congress spokesperson who’d been associated with the party for more than ten long years, Priyanka Chaturvedi has finally joined the Shiv Sena in Mumbai today in the presence of its chief and son of late Bala Saheb Thakrey, Udhav Thakrey.
Similarly, just a month ago a thirty year old associate, the Congress’s media incharge n secretary Tom Vaddakam too had joined the BJP expressing full faith in the prime minister Narendra Modi’s leadership symbolising all round development of the country.
However, before joining the saffron outfits both these leaders had literally been ridiculing, criticizing and condemning the policies n character of the saffron party leaders especially prime minister Narendra Modi.
Infact politics and political leaders have these days become hypocritical, of double standards n highly opportunistic, with no ideological base.
Just imagine a women spokesperson who represented such a prestigious party and claims in press conference that she’d joined the Congress party for it’s liberal, pluralistic, secular, progressive and pro poor character has now joined an outfit which is confined till Maharashtra n Mumbai and completely contrary to the progressive ideology, representing sectarianism n reactionery forces.
After joining the Shiv Sena in the presence of its chief Udhav Thakrey, his son n other important leaders , Priyanka addressed a press conference n thereater fielded the journalists’ questions as well.
Expressing her indignation n annoyance against the top Congress leadership without mentioning anybody’s name jubilant Priyanka who was heartily welcomed in the party by Thakrey, said that he is joining the Shiv Sena because being a Mumbaikar, though primarily from Mathura, she grew up in Mumbai under the influence of Shiv Sena.
After joining Congress n being in Delhi she felt that she was not doing justice with the women of Mumbai n its people as she was not able to serve them.
Priyanka explained as to how she was humiliated by Congressmen in Mathura n despite her repeated pleas,she was not accorded justice.
The leaders at the highest level of the party were aware of the development but were no prepared to punish the guilty, instead the lumpen goons were again reinstated in the party fold despite her serious reservations.
Therefore she left the party n joined Shiv Sena to serve it honestly, with dedication n sincerety not only in Maharashtra n Mumbai but in the entire country as well.
In response to a reporters query Priyanka said she has’nt come out of Congress out of any acrimony or misgivings but want to go to another level to serve the Mumbaikars, especially women as I felt that I am sidelining myself from Mumbai for years together.
On the question about her not being giving the party ticket despite her dedicated services to Congress party, Priyanka said, it was not the reason for her quitting the party but yes she did had aspiration for the ticket as several of the Congressmen who don’t deserve got the chance to contest, then why not she ?
Welcoming the former Congress women leader in the party fold Udhav Thakarey said that Priyanka’s services would be used to strengthen the party at the pan India level.
