RAE BARELI: Priyanka Gandhi charged the Bhartiya Janata Party with hoodwinking the people By diverting their attention from the important issues.

Elaborating, Priyanka said the real issues which needed the utmost attention, related to development, unemployment and farmers.
In reply to a question how she planned to counter the Bofors charge, Priyanka said the truth that her father was innocence had been established and the truth did not need to be marketed, she added.
It is the falsehood, which is marketed and not the truth, she said. In reply to another query on dynastic rule, Priyanka said, "we (she and Rahul) were individuals in our own right and could take our decisions."
Priyanka said the party was getting overwhelming response from the people. She however conceded that there were certain shortcomings in the organisation, which were being identified and removed.

Priyanka assured the grass root workers that they would be issued identity cards by the party and given due importance in the organisation.
