BJP, RSS Lied About Sonia Gandhi, Now She Is Telling The Truth: Priyanka

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday alleged that BJP and RSS had spread falsehoods about her mother, Sonia Gandhi, for most of her life in the country.

She said Sonia Gandhi had spoken the truth and narrated her story in her memoir Belonging: A Journey of Love. Priyanka claimed that the BJP and RSS are now branding her statements as false even though she was speaking the truth

"The whole of my mother's life, her adult life in India, the BJP, the RSS, many, many people have said so many things about my mother. They have told lies; they fabricated stories; they invented things. And she has been quiet. Now she is telling her story. She has a right to tell her story,” she said.

Priyanka said it was good that the BJP and RSS people are reading her mother’s book. Regarding the statements of the BJP and RSS leaders that false things have been stated in the book, Priyanka remarked, ``What else do you expect them to say? For so long they have been telling lies about my mother. Now she is telling the truth. But I am happy at least they are reading her book.

Priyanka said whatever her mother wanted to explain, whatever her point of view was, she has put across in the book. Everybody has their point of view.

Priyanka is on a visit to her constituency, Wayanad, to review infrastructure projects, inaugurate local development works and address public meetings.
