Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made a flurry of promises, including purchasing wheat and paddy at Rs 2500 per quintal, in Gorakhpur in poll-bound UP.
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, including farm loan waiver and purchasing wheat and paddy at Rs 2500 per quintal.
"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 Mr Adityanath, who is also the head of the prominent Mutt here named after saint Gorakhnath.
The Congresss general secretary also reached out to farmers and members of the fishing community.
"If the Congress is voted to power, then fisheries will be given the status of agriculture, and it will get all the facilities like agriculture. The rights of people of the Nishad community will be restored in sand mining and fisheries. Apart from this, a university named after Guru Machendranath will also be set up," she said.
