Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday took a potshot at Prime Minister Narendra Modi by calling him ‘sabse bada abhineta’ (greatest actor).
Priyanka, who held a massive roadshow in Mirzapur on Friday, told people that it would have been great if you had chosen veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan as the prime minister.
“You have chosen the greatest actor as Prime Minister. It would have been better if you had made Amitabh Bachchan as Prime Minister, anyhow they will not do anything for you,” she said.

Priyanka was campaigning for Congress leader from the constituency, Lalitesh Pati Tripathi, who was also present during the roadshow.
Stepping up her attack on PM Modi, she said, “Youth are unemployed. Farmers are suffering. So far, 12, 000 farmers have committed suicide. I believe he is not a leader but an actor.”
Congress’ Tripathi is fielded against SP-BSP candidate Ram Charita.
13 parliamentary constituencies of the electorally crucial state of UP will go to polls on May 19 in the seventh and last phase of the Lok Sabha elections. The results will be announced on May 23.
