Evening briefing: BJP targets Priyanka Gandhi over poll affidavit; heavy downpour in Madurai; and more

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday doubled down on the Congress over party leader Priyanka Gandhi’s alleged misrepresentation of the declared asset in the affidavit submitted during nomination filing for the Wayanad bye-election- a claim the Congress has rejected.

BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia alleged that Priyanka Gandhi’s husband, Robert Vadra, holds ownership of companies that are more than the number disclosed in the nomination document. “It would not be wrong to call them Bunty and Bubbly (referring to Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra) who arrived to practise false politics. The issue we raised regarding the non-disclosure of assets shares and two LLPs where Robert Vadra is a partner in the affidavit filed raises a very serious question,” Bhatia said at a press conference in Delhi.
