Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra defended the party’s Hastinapur candidate Archana Gautam, who in the last few days has been viciously trolled for her past participation in beauty pageants.
Ms. Vadra was addressing people at Facebook Live. To a question about the BJP’s campaign against Ms. Gautam, she said, “Our candidate from Hastinapur has reached this stage after a period of struggle. The fact that she is a known face today reflects that struggle.”
