Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the Congress's in-charge for Uttar Pradesh, has lately been more frequent in her visits to the state. She has been addressing mahapanchayats or farmers' meetings in western Uttar Pradesh. This month, she visited Prayagraj twice to interact with the sizeable Nishad community. When asked if she will be the Congress's chief ministerial candidate, she replied, "I am doing my duty ...to raise the voice of people is my duty...my duty is to get them justice".
