It was expected: Jaitley

NEW DELHI, MARCH 21. The BJP tonight said the nomination of Rahul Gandhi, son of the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, for the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency was expected because the party decides its future leadership on the basis of an individual's relationship with a family.

``It has always been on expected lines that Congress determines on the basis of a relationship that an individual has to a family,'' the BJP general secretary, Arun Jaitley, said.
