New Delhi: A non- Gandhi family should lead the Congress party, as sought by Rahul Gandhi after he resigned from the AICC Chief, said AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi.  Speaking to the media persons she said that “He has said that none of us should be the President of the party and I am in full agreement with him”.

I think that the party should find its own path also, she added. About the party losing the perception battle against BJP, Priyanka said Congress was slow to understand “New media” and by time it thought of putting out its point of view, the damage had been done. The Gandhi sibling also said that she would the follow the instructions of a non- Gandhi ‘Boss’ on whether she should get the organizational charge of UP or Andaman or Nicobar.

The comments are part of an interview published in a book on next generations of India, excerpted by the print on Tuesday. Priyanka Gandhi has been quoted as saying that after BJP leveled allegations of corruptions against her husband Robert Vadra, she clarified everything to her son and daughter. After all the allegations were made about my husband, my first reaction was to pay a visit to my 13 year old son and to show him every single transaction. I explained this to my daughter as well.

I don’t hide things from my children, even the mistakes I make or the weaknesses I have. I am very open with them, she said. She said the long E.D interrogations of her husband and the TV debates on the matter affected their children.  My son was in an all boys boarding school and he faced a lot of difficulties there because of these things, she is quoted as saying. Priyanka says it was witnessing the destruction of everything that our freedom fighters fought for and built that pushed her to finally join the politics. She also said that she is very anti-legacy. I think kids should not have a legacy.

We should not leave them with a legacy of good of legacy of bad. They should be free, she said. Adding and, therefore, I frankly need not be remembered.
