Senior BJP leader Vinay Katiyar has provoked uproar with his comment that there are "prettier campaigners than Priyanka Gandhi", a day after her name figured in the Congress party's list for the Uttar Pradesh election campaign. "There are more beautiful star campaigners...heroines, artistes...they are better," Mr Katiyar, a Rajya Sabha member, said to a question on whether Congress president Sonia Gandhi's daughter would make a huge difference to the UP campaign.
