Sources from Indore stated that BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya on Saturday said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's appointment as a Congress general secretary reflected the lack of confidence in Rahul Gandhi's leadership within the party. Meanwhile when equating Priyanka Gandhi Vadra with actors Kareena Kapoor and Salman Khan, the former Madhya Pradesh minister said the Congress wanted to field "chocolaty" faces in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls as it had a dearth of strong leaders.
Accordingly "A Congress leader demands that Kareena Kapoor should be fielded from the Bhopal Lok Sabha seat. Furthermore sometimes, others talk about fielding Salman Khan from Indore. Likewise, Priyanka was also brought into active politics. Vijayvargiya told reporters "The Congress does not have strong leaders to field in the Lok Sabha election. That is why it wants to fight the polls through these chocolaty faces".
Moreover the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader was responding to a question on the demand by a section in the Congress to field Kareena and Salman from Bhopal and Indore respectively in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He said "Priyanka would not have been brought into active politics if there was confidence within the Congress in (party chief) Rahul's leadership".
