Priyanka, Rahul halt at UP ‘dhaba’

Lucknow: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi and her brother and Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday went to a roadside dhaba in Kairana in Uttar Pradesh while on their way to meet the family of a CRPF jawan killed by a suicide bomber in Pulwama.
Seeing the Gandhi convoy stopping at a near the Yamuna bridge, a large number people made a beeline for the dhaba. Rahul obliged the youngsters by posing for a selfie.
While Rahul  and party leaders Raj Babbar and Jyotiraditya Scindia had fritters and sipped tea, Priyanka, seated nearby, chatted with some women and their children.
Picking up a child on her lap, Priyanka asked if she went to school. The response was in the negative.
“Why don’t you send her to school?” Priyanka Gandhi asked the mother, who said she couldn’t afford to get the girl admitted in a school.
Interacting with other women, Priyanka asked about their problems and promised to redress their grievances.
