Priyanka Gandhi meets fishermen community members in Prayagraj

The party workers welcomed Congress General Secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi in Prayagraj on February 21.

She came at Prayagraj to support boatmen who were allegedly harassed by local police.

She visited Banswaar village in trans-Yamuna area of the district to meet members of fishermen community.

Priyanka had travelled in Sujit Nishad's boat after she took a holy dip at the Sangam, a confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Sarswati River, on Mauni Amavasya where she had performed puja.

She had later posted a video where she was seen assisting Nishad in rowing the boat.

Nishad had informed Priyanka about issues that boatmen belonging to the Nishad community were facing, including brutality against them by police whom he alleged had destroyed their boats.

The boatman requested her assistance in raising their voices against the oppression to which she agreed, party sources said.

Priyanka Gandhi slams PM Modi for calling Rahul Gandhi 'Shehzada', calls him 'Shahenshah' | Oneindia

In a scathing critique of previous Congress administrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lambasted their approach to dealing with Pakistan's terrorism. Modi likened their efforts to sending "love letters" to Pakistan in a bid for peace, only to witness a surge in terrorist activities as a result. His remarks underscored the need for a more assertive stance against terrorism, emphasising the imperative of safeguarding national security. Furthermore, Modi alleged that Pakistani leaders are actively advocating for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to ascend to India's prime ministership post-election. However, Modi firmly asserted that India, in its pursuit of strength and security, unequivocally demands a resilient and steadfast government. #PriyankaGandhi #PMModi #RahulGandhi #Shehzada #Shahenshah #PoliticalCriticism #IndianPolitics #LeadershipDebate #PoliticalRhetoric #ElectionDynamics #LokSabhaElections #LokSabhaPolls #Elections2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #LSPolls2024 ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.121~

Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Fatehpur Sikri Braces for Fierce Electoral Battle | Oneindia News

Home to the revered shrine of Sufi saint Salim Chishti and the imposing red sandstone fortress built by Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal era. In the upcoming elections, the Fatehpur Sikri seat finds itself delicately poised, with both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party setting their sights on clinching victory. The Congress, contesting 17 seats in Uttar Pradesh as part of its alliance with the Samajwadi Party under the INDIA bloc, has fielded Ramnath Sikarwar, popularly known as 'Fauji Baba,' to take on the BJP's sitting MP, Rajkumar Chahar. Chahar, who had secured a resounding victory in 2019 by defeating Raj Babbar, the then-state Congress president, with a margin of five lakh votes, faces twin challenges this time around. Not only is he grappling with internal party conflicts over his candidature, but he also finds himself confronted with significant anti-incumbency sentiment. Pankaj Mishra, Imran Shah and Rajender Bhandari visited Fatehpur Sikri report. #LokSabhaPolls2024 #LokSabhaPolls #FatehpurSikriLokSabhaPoll #CongressVsBJP ~HT.99~PR.100~PR.282~CA.144~
