Priyanka Gandhi Vadra

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday targeted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in his home turf of Gorakhpur and made a flurry of poll promises. "Things have happened against the ‘vaani' (views) of Guru Gorakhnath. Bulldozers were used, threats were made to put people in jail," she alleged at a rally, taking a swipe at the CM who is also the head of the prominent Mutt here named after saint Gorakhnath.

She also reached out to farmers and the fishing community. "If the Congress is voted to power, then fisheries will be given the status of agriculture, and will get all the facilities. The rights of people of the Nishad community will be restored in sand mining and fisheries... Entire loans of farmers will be waived...government jobs will be given to 20 lakh youths... The Anganwadi workers will get an honorarium of Rs 10,000, and women will get three free cylinders in a year."
