On Friday, the Congress had announced a 12,000 km-long yatra through villages and towns of the state ahead of the assembly polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision to take out the yatra was taken at a meeting presided over by Priyanka Gandhi and attended by members of the party’s advisory and strategy committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priyanka Gandhi on Sunday toured Rae Bareli constituency, the bastion of the Gandhi family since the days of Indira Gandhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rae Bareli has five assembly seats out of which two are with the Congress and the BJP each, and one is with the Samajwadi Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
