Priyanka Gandhi Vadra reached Raebareli on Monday and held marathon meetings with local Congress leaders over the past two days.
She may not be the candidate, but senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is leading from the front when it comes to the party's campaign in two prestige seats in Uttar Pradesh - Amethi and Raebareli. While her brother Rahul Gandhi is the candidate from Raebareli, Gandhi family loyalist Kishori Lal Sharma is the party's pick for the Amethi seat.
Ms Gandhi Vadra is scheduled to hold as many as nine nukkad sabhas today to mark the beginning of a whirlwind outreach campaign. The 52-year-old leader reached Raebareli on Monday and held marathon meetings with local Congress leaders in the Bhuemau guesthouse over the past two days.
In a meeting on Monday, Ms Gandhi Vadra is learnt to have told Congress workers that she "will not move from Raebareli till May 18". Both Raebareli and Amethi vote in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha polls on May 20.
