New Delhi: Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi on Wednesday took to social media to criticise the grand old party’s decision to reinstate members who had been expelled recently for misbehaving with her at a recent press conference in Mathura.
Chaturvedi wrote on Twitter: “Deeply saddened that lumpen goons get preference in @incindia over those who have given their sweat and blood. Having faced brickbats and abuse across board for the party but yet those who threatened me within the party getting away with not even a rap on their knuckles is unfortunate.”

Her tweet was in response to one Vijay Laxmi Sharma who posted a letter by the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee. The letter states that party general secretary (UP West) Jyotiraditya Scindia had accepted the apology tendered by the leaders and revoked their suspension.
In 2018, a troll, Girish Maheshwari, was arrested for threatening to rape Chaturvedi’s minor daughter.
