Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, daughter of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and sister of party vice-president Rahul Gandhi had visited Raebareli for two days. She asked the party's women leaders to reach out if an ordinary citizen was harassed by goons or the police. She asked Congressmen to protest in front of police stations in such cases. When some workers told her that the police was insensitive about people's problems, Priyanka Gandhi said she would personally reach the spot to participate in the protest if the cops didn't listen to people..
