Rae Bareli
(Uttar Pradesh): Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
Sunday hit out at the opposition for levelling allegations against
Home Minister P. Chidambaram in the 2G spectrum allocation and
said she felt sad he had to "waste" his time responding to them
when he had onerous responsibilities towards the country.
Backing Chidambaram, who was finance minister when 2G allocations
were made in 2008, Priyanka said she felt sad for the United
Progressive Alliance (UPA) government also which has been under
constant attack from the opposition.
"It takes away from the precious time he (Chidambaram) should be
devoting towards the country and I feel the same way towards our
government," Priyanka said in response to questions from media
persons.
"I feel really sad how much time is wasted not allowing the
government to function," she added.
A court in Delhi had Saturday dismissed a plea by Janata Party
president Subramanian Swamy to make Chidambaram a co-accused in
the 2G scam case.
Priyanka, who is campaigning for Congress candidates in Amethi and
Rae Bareli for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, said
Chidambaram as home minister had onerous responsibilities towards
the people of the country.
She said she felt "sad that he (Chidambaram) has to waste his
time" responding to people who were not concerned with the issues
he had to deal with.
