Priyanka’s Tote Bag Drama Gets A Fitting Yogi Rebuttal

Newly elected Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who is continuously trying to stay in the public eye with her words and action tried carrying a tote bag with ‘Palestine’ emblazoned on it, signifying her support for the Palestinian cause. The bag surely helped her catch media attention but it earned her a lot of flak. While BJP dismissed her tote bag drama as part of Congress vote bank politics. Some leaders wondered why she wasn’t endorsing any Hindu cause. Playing safe, Priyanka flaunted another bag endorsing Bangladeshi Hindu cause. It was left to UP CM Yogi Adityanath to tear apart Priyanka’s tote bag drama on the floor of the UP Legislative Assembly. He pointed out that while the Gandhi girl was rooting for Palestine, the state was sending youth to  Israel for employment in construction work .“A Congress leader was roaming around in the Parliament carrying a bag with Palestine written on it, while we were sending the youth of Uttar Pradesh to Israel. More than 5600 youth of UP have gone to Israel for construction work so far.” Every youth is getting free accommodation and food, a salary of Rs 1.5 lakh per month. He also added how the Israeli envoy had met him recently and wanted to recruit more youth from the state. Reacting to Priyanka’s messaging via bag, BJP MP Anurag Thakur said, “She did not speak a word on atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh but wants to make a fashion statement with the Palestine bag.” Priyanka has dismissed comments on her clothes as patriarchy, “Who is going to decide what clothes I am going to wear? This is typical patriarchy, deciding what a woman should wear.”
