Priyanka Gandhi in Rae Bareilly: Taking charge of the prestige battle in Rae Bareilly and Amethi, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday alleged that the entire BJP machinery is engaged in spreading lies against Rahul Gandhi. 

Interestingly, amid reports of a rift between the brother and the sister, Priyanka during her Rae Bareilly visit said, "Do you understand the politics of service? Have always shown loyalty and awareness towards the country? If Rahul ji wins here, you will get such MPs. You will get two people, usually, there is one MP, but you will get two MPs. I will also be there, he will also be there, he will be your MP and I will work with him. We will solve all the problems wholeheartedly like our family did.

Slamming the BJP, she also said that it talks about religion, caste and temple, mosques but not about real issues concerning the people. Campaigning for her brother Rahul Gandhi from the family bastion, she said the people of Rae Bareli understand leaders well.

"When they did not like some policy of Indiraji (Indira Gandhi) they defeated her also. Indira did not get angry but did introspection. You elected her again. It is a speciality of the people of Rae Bareli that they understand leaders," she said while addressing a street meeting at Thulwasa in the constituency She said the BJP wanted to change the Constitution but when it realised they would have to suffer losses in the election, the prime minister said they had no such plans.

Earlier in a post on X, she said her party's 100-year-old relationship with the people of Rae Bareli has entered a new era and the people of the constituency are once again ready for its leadership. As part of the poll campaign, Priyanka Gandhi is scheduled to attend street meetings at Maharajganj, Halor, Bhawanigarh, Goodha, Tilenda, Inchauli and Sudauli — all in Bachhrawan assembly constituency of Rae Bareli.
