On Thursday, Congress General Secretary for Uttar Pradesh (East) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was caught on camera holding snakes in her hand during a public meeting in Raebareli. The incident was caught on camera when Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was meeting snake charmers in Raebareli.
In the video which has been shared by the news agency ANI, it can be seen that she was warned by the people around to be careful with the snakes, but she was heard saying ‘nothing would happen, it’s fine’. After this, she held a snake in hand. She asked the snake charmers about the people in the area and even spoke to them about what kind of snakes do they have.
After meeting them, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra told reporters that, “Ideology of Congress & BJP is poles apart. We’ll always fight them, they are our main adversary in politics. We’ve made sure not to benefit BJP in any way. We’re fighting strongly, our candidates are strong.”
While campaigning yesterday, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that her party has fielded some Lok Sabha candidates in Uttar Pradesh with the aim to cut into the vote share of BJP, not to just win the elections. “My strategy is very clear. Congress will win on the seats where our candidates are strong. Where our candidates are slightly lightweight, they will cut into BJP’s vote share,” Priyanka replied when asked whether the chances of Congress’ victory are less in UP.
