PRAYAGRAJ: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra again reached out to Nishads on Sunday after her 2019 boat ride on the Ganga to woo the community. Priyanka said that the state and central government was only working for the welfare of big business houses and not for those who had voted them to power.
Priyanka arrived in Prayagraj for the second time in the past 10 days and met people of the Nishad community at Baswar village of the trans-Yamuna area of the district. Earlier, she had visited the Sangam on Mauni Amawasya on February 11.
She said like the agricultural laws, the laws applicable to rivers are to the benefit of industrialists rather than fishermen.
