Senior Congress leader Arif Naseem Khan Saturday slammed BJP leader Vinod Narain Jha's comments on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and said his "cheap" mentality was coming to the fore as the party was set to lose Lok Sabha polls.

The former Maharashtra minister also said the BJP is "nervous" over Priyanka's formal entry in politics and that she will help bring the Congress back to power in 2019. "BJP leaders are resorting to using cheap language against the Gandhi family and Priyanka ji as they know that promises made by them are unfulfilled and the Narendra Modi government's policy decisions have immensely hurt the economy and the common man," he claimed.
