Bakwas ki hai, happy he retired: Vadra on Pitroda

New Delhi : Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra has rubbished Sam Pitroda’s ‘racist’ remark and expressing surprise at how such an educated person could make these types of comments.

Vadra also said that he completely disagreed with what the former Overseas India Congress chairman stating that the latter should have been more responsible with his remarks. “When you are associated with this (Gandhi) family, with great power comes great responsibility, you have to think before taking any step. I disagree with what Sam Pitroda has said. ‘Bakwas ki hai’. How can someone so educated say something like this? He was very close to Rajiv Gandhi but he should be a little more responsible. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are making efforts but because of his one statement, the BJP gets a chance to raise unnecessary issues,” Vadra told ANI.

“You come here and talk about the mistakes of this government, point out the shortcomings. But you are sitting on the sofa and saying anything, which is complete nonsense. I am very happy that he has retired. I wrote to him yesterday that all this is wrong,” Vadra said. Vadra has also criticised Smriti Irani, the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Amethi stating that she used his name in a wrong way by showing his picture with Adani.
