Priyanka Gandhi Takes A Swipe At PM Modi
On Tuesday, Priyanka Gandhi claimed that her "Ladki hoon, lad Sakti hoon" (I'm a female, I can fight) campaign compelled Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak at a Prayagraj women's convention.
"Due to 'Ladki hoon, Lad sakti hoon' campaign of Congress, PM has to work for women. PM has bowed before the women power. This is a victory of women of Uttar Pradesh," she tweeted.
