Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has once again taken the lead in her attempt to create an edge over the top leaders of the Samajwadi Party and the BSP. Lakhimpur Kheri, because the opposition politics has gained momentum ahead of the state elections regarding this incident.
After learning about the incident, Priyanka took off from Delhi at around 8.30 pm and landed in Lucknow with Congress Rajya Sabha MP Deepender Hooda at 10 pm. He had plans to go to Lakhimpur Kheri the next morning, but changed the plan after the Congress came to know about the prohibition order and the administration’s decision not to admit any politician.
Priyanka and Hooda managed to escape from Congress leader Sheela Kaul’s residence before midnight despite police presence outside the house and left for Lakhimpur. In the middle of the way, the police tried to stop Priyanka’s convoy but she changed her car to move forward. On the way, Priyanka and Hooda also had a heated argument with the police.
