Priyanka Gandhi

"Aam Aadmi Party has come from RSS... AAP officials declare they are ideologically more connected to BJP than BJP leaders," Priyanka Gandhi stated during a public event in Kotkapura.

Priyanka Gandhi’s comments came a day after violence witnessed in educational institutions in Karnataka against girl students who came wearing hijab.

The Congress leader leaned down from her vehicle and exchanged a few words with one protesting BJP cadre. She then attempts to present him with a copy of ‘Bharti Vidhan’, the Congress youth manifesto, but he refuses. Another man in the crowd accepts the book in his stead.

Rahul Gandhi's visit is being seen as a campaign strategy to boost the morale of the party members and workers in the state ahead of the assembly election.

On Twitter, the Congress leader wrote: "You did not include any funding for Uttar Pradesh in your budget. But what was the point of insulting the people of UP in this way? Understandably, the inhabitants of UP are happy to be referred to be 'UP types'. We are proud of the language, accent, culture, and history of the UP."

Taking to Twitter, the BSP supremo stated that the Congress party's situation is so bad that its CM face for the UP elections changed her mind within a few hours.

Asked about the widespread perception that BSP chief Mayawati was not campaigning in her usual style in the polls and was quiet, Gandhi said she was also surprised.

The leaders also announced that an examination calendar would be produced, in which recruiting advertisements, examination dates, and appointment dates will be documented, and harsh punishment will be taken in the event of a breach. The party has promised to employ 20 lakh young people in Uttar Pradesh.

The Congress leaders will hold a special press conference at the party's headquarters to unveil the UP youth manifesto. This is one of the few times that both leaders of the Congress Party will address the media simultaneously.

Priyanka Gandhi revealed in a Facebook live session whether she helps her with children in finishing their homework and assignments or not.
