Priyanka Gandhi Vadra broke her silence today on not contesting the national election from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After months of build-up, the Congress announced last week that not Priyanka Gandhi but Ajay Rai, a local Congress leader who had finished third in the 2014 polls, would be the party's candidate again in the temple town.<br />"I did not pull out (of Varanasi)," Priyanka Gandhi asserted, speaking to NewsX in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi, where she was campaigning for her brother Rahul Gandhi, the Congress president.
