In a video shared by news agency ANI, Priyanka, while campaigning in her vehicle, is seen extending her hand towards the BJP supporters and handing them the manifesto.
Criticising the saffron party, Gandhi had earlier remarked that their decision to field Adityanath from his pocket borough of Gorakhpur for the upcoming polls indicated that the party leadership was attempting to “cut him to size” as in an “autocratic system like theirs, there can only be one supreme leader”.
The grand old party is locked in a contest with the ruling BJP, SP-RLD alliance and BSP in the state as the 403-seat Uttar Pradesh assembly goes to polls in seven phases from February 10 till March 7.
