‘Priyanka as LoP would perform better’: Rijiju swipes at Rahul, Priyanka hits back

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju stirred a fresh political debate by suggesting that Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi could have performed better as the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Praising Priyanka’s conduct in Parliament, Rijiju remarked that if she had been chosen for the LoP role, the performance might have been stronger. The comment is being seen as a direct swipe at Rahul Gandhi, further intensifying the political exchange between the BJP and Congress.
