New Delhi: A day after declaring herself the ‘CM face’ for Congress in the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday clarified her remarks saying that no such decision has been taken by the party.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Priyanka stated that she made the remarks in a “slight exaggerated way” in response to repeated queries from the media on the issue. The party decides who will be the chief ministerial candidate and in some States, no such decision is taken, she added.
The Congress leader had on Friday dropped major hints that she could be the chief ministerial face of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh.
“Are you seeing any other face from the Congress? Then?” “Then you are the CM face for the Congress?” Priyanka Gandhi was asked. “Dikh toh raha hai na sab jaga mera chehra (My face can be seen everywhere),” she had said.
