In a scathing attack on her niece Priyanka Gandhi, BJP leader Maneka Gandhi asked Priyanka to find out her husband Robert Vadra's ideology before commenting on the ideology of son Varun Gandhi or the BJP.

"When scared most people can go to the extent of saying anything," the BJP Pilibhit candidate said in an exclusive interview to AajTak. Though she initially said she did not want to comment further on the allegations levelled by Priyanka against Varun, she later said, "Priyanka should first ask her husband Robert Vadra what is his ideology? Then she should comment on BJP or Varun Gandhi's ideology. Only after knowing Vadra's ideology, Priyanka can understand the difference between the two ideologies."

Earlier on Tuesday, Priyanka alleged that the ideology of Varun Gandhi and his party was to divide the country whereas her father Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed his life for the unity of country.

When asked that what is the basic difference between the Gandhis of the Congress and the Gandhis of the BJP, Maneka Gandhi said, "We are different people. We are a different kind of people. I do not want to comment further."

On being asked whether Varun Gandhi is inching closer to Amethi and Rae Bareli and could this shift to the heart of Uttar Pradesh make Rahul and Priyanka uncomfortable, Maneka said, "I can only say that Varun has come to this place to serve the country. He is making an all-out effort. Varun is mature and intelligent, whatever he will do, he will do with good intention. Now what can I comment on those (Priyanka) who are scared of him?"
