BJP can take credit, but let buses run: Priyanka

May 20, 2020 16:36

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, UP Congress general secretary says in a video presser that at 4 pm, 24 hours have gone my since the buses were made available. "If you want to use it, do it. Give us permission. If you want to use BJP party flags and stickers on buses then do it. If you want to say that you made those buses available, do it. But let the buses run.

"We'll have to understand our responsibilities. They (migrant labourers walking to return to their native states) aren't just Indians but India's spinal cord. The country runs on their blood and sweat. It's everyone's responsibility. It's not the time for politics."

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma on Wednesday lashed out at Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the issue of buses arranged by the Congress for stranded migrant workers, saying it is for a "political stunt." He further claimed that the condition of the buses provided by the Congress was "unfit" for ferrying people from one state to another.
