Bansuri Swaraj pulls a Priyanka, flaunts 'National Herald ki loot' bag

The move was seen as a symbolic dig at the Congress party amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the National Herald case. Drawing a parallel to Priyanka Gandhi’s accessory, Swaraj's bag echoed the BJP’s focus on the alleged financial misconduct by Congress leaders.

Speaking to ANI news agency, Swaraj said, “This is the first time that corruption has taken place in the fourth pillar of democracy-media. The charge sheet filed by the ED highlights the old working style and ideology of the Congress party. In the guise of service, they make public institutions a tool to increase their personal property. This is a very serious matter...The Congress party and its top leadership are accountable for this.”

The case involves senior Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, who have been accused of money laundering by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The Congress, however, has rejected the accusations, calling them an act of political revenge by the BJP.
