Robert Vadra is a strange beast. He is the accidental son-in-law that we did not approve of.
If 'political equity' can convert loose change jangling in pocket to multi-billions, while we are forced to dig mnrega graves with sweat equity, we feel duped. we feel Vadra deserves to be punished for a crime of entitlement.
All this is humbug, but he is a soft target for a nation in crisis mode. Priyanka understands that political propriety is impossible and the best thing to do now is make lemonade out of this lemon.
How best to do it than cry in anguish, in front of a camera? We are after all, a nation that cries it's heart out, watching TV serials, every mid-morning at and with a wronged bahu. Boo hu.
in this sense, I like priyanka's response. She plays to a gallery of sentimental fools.
pass the kleenex please
