Veteran Congress leader and former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde defended his daughter, Congress member Praniti Shinde, claiming that despite the BJP's relentless efforts to entice her to join their party, she stays loyal to Congress.

Shinde informed that his daughter Praniti would not join the BJP since she believes in the Congress party's ideology and beliefs. He emphasised that Praniti, like many others, shares Gandhi and Nehru's values and has been elected three times by people who believe in these ideas, stated a report in IANS.
