She dismissed the BJP's charge that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi had attempted to grab properties worth ₹2,000 crore from the National Herald through the NGO Young Indian.

She said that no one could sell these assets or pass them on to their heir. The assets were not in their names, claimed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and said that the allegations were a pack of lies.

She asserted that her family members were fully cooperating with the probe agency. She alleged that PM Modi's strategy did not seem to be working.
