Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says, she was pained to see the poll campaign was used to target her family instead of focussiong on people and development. Campaigning in Raebareli from where her mother Sonia Gandhi is contesting, Priyanka Gandhi came out for the first time to mention her husband Robert Vadra and said even he was not spared and targeted for political reasons. She asserted that the more the attacks on them by opponents, more her resolve would be to fight back them.

AIR Lucknow correspondent reports that Priyanka said that Vadra was being attacked by BJP to divert the attention of people from the development issues to meaningless talk and that the truth about her husband would prevail. Invoking Indira Gandhi, Priyanka said she had learnt from her grandmother how to fight back.
