Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the ruling BJP that the party would discover one day that “everything cannot be bought”.

“One day the BJP will discover that everything cannot be bought, everyone cannot be bullied and every lie is eventually exposed,” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted last night.
