‘Khan Market is not so bad’: Priyanka Gandhi’s quip on ‘Lutyens' elite’ charge

In an exclusive interview with India Todav TV, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra rejected the tag of ‘Lutyens’ elite’. Lutyens’ Delhi is one of the most elite of areas of the country. The area houses stately bungalows bordering gulmohar-lined boulevards. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "I have never been Lutyens’ elite. I did not go abroad to study. I studied in Jesus and Mary College (University of Delhi). My friends are all from ordinary families, not from Lutyens.” "Anyway, Khan Market is not so bad. I go there sometimes," she quipped.
