Sam Pitroda: Priyanka's own decision not to challenge from Varanasi

Jaipur, Apr 26 Congress leader Sam Pitroda Friday said it was Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's own decision not to challenge against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat.

Speculation over Priyanka Gandhi's electoral debut from Modi's body electorate finished Thursday when the Congress handled Ajay Rai from that point.

"The party president had left an official conclusion on her, Pitroda said when journalists got some information about Rahul Gandhi not handling his sister from the prominent supporters.

She concluded that she has a several responsibilities. She chose that as opposed to focusing on one seat, she should focus on the job she has at hand, Pitroda, who heads the Indian Overseas Congress, said.

So that decision was finally hers and she decided it," he said.

Priyanka Gandhi is in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh for her party.
