Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who began her two-day tour of Rae Bareli on Sunday, urged party workers to give reply to BJP’s Hindutva card, reports said. Accusing the saffron party of spreading propaganda, Vadra urged party men to spread the message that the Congress respects all religions.
“Talk about Hindutva and give answer to people’s questions,” Vadra told party workers from Bareli and Amethi.
Vadra’s visit to Rae Bareli comes ahead of the crucial Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, which will be held early next year.
UP Congress media panelist Priyanka Gupta said the party general secretary would be holding organisational meetings throughout the day and the meetings would continue till late night.
She may also meet people from different sections of the society, Gupta said.
Gandhi visited Bachhravan, Harchandpur, Jagdishpur village and Civil Lines area of the city, where she was welcomed by party leaders and workers. Then her cavalcade proceeded towards the Bhuyemau guest house, a party leader told PTI.
Congress will conduct a Pratigya Yatra in the state covering 12,000 km ahead of the assembly polls.
