New Delhi: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi’s ‘Ganga Yatra’ campaign in Uttar Pradesh,from Prayagraj to Varanasi, entered its second day on Tuesday.
Priyanka is scheduled to visit Vindhyachal Mandir in Mirzapur today. She will also offer “Chadar” at Maulana Ismail Chishti’s Mazar. Sources revealed that Priyanaka will offer prayers at VIndhyachal Shakti Peeth at 10 am today. It will be followed by visit to Maulana Chishti Mazar, Kantit Sharif at 12 pm.
She will begin her boat ride at 1 pm from Bhatauli Ghat in Mirzapur. She will then address a gathering at Singhora Ghat and hold a road show in Chunar.
Priyanka kicked off her Ganga Yatra on Monday from the Manaiya Ghat in Kachnar tehsil of Prayagraj district. The boat ride campaign is expected to help Congress regain its political moorings in Uttar Pradesh.
The 47-year-old Congress general secretary, launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged voters to bring in a government that works for them.
She interacted with a cross section of people, including students, and invited some of them to join her on the motorboat as she undertook her much anticipated ride. She addressed people at Sirsa Ghat and other places where she halted during the boat-ride.
After a night halt in Sitamarhi in Bhadohi district, the Congress leader is to resume her onward journey Tuesday morning that will culminate in Varanasi on Wednesday.
Citing BJP's promises which have remained "unfulfilled", she asked: "Have two crore jobs been given...has our prime minister ever come here...he has been travelling all over the world."
"They think that by misleading you all they will remain in power. All institutions are being destroyed...the country cannot run like this...," she said. "I could have also sat at home. I have come out as the country is in danger, the country's Constitution is in danger...so vote wisely," she said Monday.
