Lucknow: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday recalled the iconic dialogue from the Hindi film ‘Deewar’ to counter critics that her party had lost base in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, saying, ‘Mere paas behen hai’ (I have sister).
She is on persistent on opposition’s attack for running campaign on ‘ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon’ amid ongoing campaign ahead of crucial elections in Uttar Pradesh.
In the video, a smiling Priyanka can be seen invoking a reference of Shashi Kapoor in the 1975 film, Deewar. “Have you heard that dialogue? Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor were brothers in the movie. Amitabh Bachchan tells Shashi Kapoor ‘mere paas gaadhi hai, bunglow hai, yeh hai, woh hai’. Then Shashi Kapoor says, ‘mere paas maa hai’. So, I am also saying ‘mere paas behen hai’,” Priyanka Gandhi said to the television channel, which shared on her Twitter account. https://twitter.com/priyankagandhi/status/1473539224485855240?t=dYmN27oCKiI4XUCDd9SFqA&s=19
