Priya Dutt who has been recently appointed AICC Secretary, denied vehemently of any problem in the family due to her brother Sanjay’s opting to join Samajwadi Party and contesting from Lucknow for the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
She conveyed to the press yesterday that she welcomed his decision to join politics to serve people. Citing her family as a pro-congress one, she said that she would have been more happy had he contested on Congress ticket rather than the Samajwadi Party ticket.
She became MP from Mumbai on Congress ticket from North West Lok sabha constituency that was represented earlier by her father Sunil Dutt.
This comment from Priya Dutt is read by the experts as a message to Sanjay that in the event he is strengthening the ties with Samajwadi Party then he has to fend for himself in the criminal cases where he is facing charges under Arms act.
