Wayanad bypoll: Low voter turnout dampens Congress spirits
Political observers say that the massive turnout of crowd during the campaigns of Priyanka in the constituency is not reflected in the polling.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Samajwadi Party Mainpuri MP Dimple Yadav, wife of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, participated in an impressive roadshow in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency on Saturday evening.
UP Congress president and INDIA bloc candidate from Varanasi Ajay Rai was also present in the road show. The roadshow started with the blessings of Maa Duga located at Durgakund.
Congress and SP workers kept raising slogans in favour of Rai while rose petals were showered over Priyanka, Dimple and Ajay Rai standing in an open vehicle.
