Priyanka will make no difference to BJP’s prospects in UP: Yogi

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Saturday said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s entry into politics will make ‘no difference’ to the BJP’s Lok Sabha poll prospects in the state and dismissed the SP-BSP alliance as ‘false alarm’.

“The Congress has made her (Priyanka) its general secretary (in-charge of eastern UP) this time. It is an internal matter of that party,” he said. “Earlier too she had campaigned for the Congress. This time also it will make no difference (to the BJP).
