Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday said that she can sacrifice her life for her brother, ruling out an alleged disagreement between them.
"I can sacrifice my life for my brother (Rahul Gandhi) and even he can do the same for me. There is conflict in BJP, not in Congress," she said.
The Congress national general secretary was responding to a question on Uttar Pradesh Chief minister Yogi Adityanath remarks that there might be a rift between Priyanka and Rahul.
"The dispute exists only in Yogi ji's thoughts. It looks he is stating this in light of a rift between him, Modi ji, and Amit Shah ji," she said.
Priyanka Gandhi added that there is a conflict in the Bharatiya Janata Party, not in the Congress and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi might have a conflict.
Earlier, Adityanath had during a public rally at Pauri Garhwal in Uttarakhand said: "The Congress is completely submerged, wherever there is little existence, both 'brother and sister' are enough to push it down. So it should be left to its fate."
She also said that Aam Aadmi Party has emerged from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as the Aam Aadmi Party leaders have been publicly saying that they owe allegiance to the BJP.
"Aam Aadmi Party has emerged from RSS... AAP leaders themselves say that they are more ideologically closeR to the BJP than BJP leaders themselves," said Priyanka Gandhi.
Further slamming AAP over its claims of development in Delhi, the Congress leader said, "There's nothing in the name of educational and healthcare institutions in Delhi. It's important to know the truth about political parties and their leaders."
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also emphasised that CM Channi of the Congress party is "a common man among you" Punjab will go to the Assembly polls on February 20 and the counting of votes will take place on March 10.
