Priyanka Gandhi Vadra started her second leg of campaign for Congress from Gauriganj assembly segment which belongs to Amethi Parliamentary constituence from where Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi is the Member of Parliament.
Priyanka Gandhi during a quick interaction with the press at Jamon quipped, "I have been asked to look after the 10 assembly constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareli, and I am doing that".
On the first day of her five-day tour, the charismatic Congress campaigner urged people to vote for change in the state where politics over the last 22 years had become religion and caste-based. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra covered 160 km, stopped at over 60 places and addressed 11 meetings, all in Gauriganj.
With her attractive smile all day long Priyanka Gandhi gently reprimanded voters. "You did not pay heed to my request in 2007. You had to suffer for the past five years. The MLA is constructing a big bungalow. The situation is bad here." She added, "Vote for change. Not for Rahul or the Congress, but for the future of your children."
Vadra spoke of an old temple near the meeting ground at Pindara. "I used to come here as a child. Now I have two children. They go to good schools. But the children here do not have good schools. When I come here after 22 years from now, my children would have got good jobs, but these children will be here only."
Going beyond the speech, Priyanka Gandhi turned her public meetings into a question-answer relay. "What is the meaning of politics?" she asked her audience. To serve people, she replied. "What is the importance of casting votes?" she asked again with a quick answer ‘It gives you power to change’.
