Lok Sabha election 2019: Posters of 'Priyanka Vadra is missing' comes up in Raebareli; calls her 'emotional blackmailer'
In a bizarre development in UP’s politics, posters have come up in Raebareli terming Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi as “emotional blackmailer.”
It is pertinent to note that Raebareli is the Lok Sabha constituency of Priyanka’s mother and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
As the posters went round all over the state and raised some significant question, it stated that “Priyanka Gandhi is missing” and even said while many tragedies struck the city and the state, Priyanka Gandhi was nowhere to be seen and she even never bothered to reach out to her to the people in the Congress cadre, where she is projected as the heir of her mother.
Congress district president VK Shukla said that the party will give a befitting reply to those spereading such rumors and it seems like yet another political and “dirty trick.” He added that “People who have stooped to such a new low will be given befitting reply for such a shameful act.”
Raebareli and Amethi have been the stronghold of the Congress party and its been decades since the Nehru-Gandhi family have been contesting and winning on these two constituencies of the Lok Sabha.

But the BJP is seeing 2019 as a golden opportunity to bring back these 2 seats to its pocket and let the Congress’ bank go vacant in the upcoming elections, where a grand alliance with Mayawati’s BSP and Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party seems nearly impossible, after the recent events which unfolded in the Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
