UP assembly election 2022: "Have you heard this dialogue from Deewar? Mere paasmaa hai (my mother is with me)," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said before adding her twist
The Congress's Uttar Pradesh in-charge Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has put her faith firmly on the women of the state to carry her party to the victory line in the assembly election early next year.
When asked about how the Congress plans to take UP - a state ruled by the BJP's Yogi Adityanath, who is set on giving a fierce fight to secure another term as Chief Minister - Priyanka Gandhi drew parallels with a famous dialogue from the 1975 Bollywood film Deewaar, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor.
"Have you heard this dialogue from Deewar? Mere paas maa hai (my mother is with me)," Priyanka Gandhi told News18, before adding her UP election twist.
"Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor were brothers in the movie. Amitabh asks Shashi Kapoor, 'mere paas gaddi hai, mere paas bungalow hai, yeh hai, woh hai, toh Sashi Kapoor ne kahan mere paas maa hai. Toh main keh rahin hun mere paas behen hai (my sisters are with me)," Priyanka Gandhi said.
