The Gorakhpur’s Congress unit on Sunday raised a demand for fielding Priyanka Gandhi from here, depicting her as a modern “Jhansi ki Rani”.
The district unit of the party raised the demand in two posters that came up in the stronghold of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who represented Gorakhpur between 1998 and 2017 in the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th Lok Sabha.
In the first poster, the Congress party workers demanded that Priyanka Gandhi be made the Congress candidate from Gorakhpur for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
