Priyanka Gandhi on Friday shared a stage with Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and began Uttar Pradesh assembly election's campaign by attending the first election rally at Rae Bareli.
Senior Congress leader Akhilesh Singh's daughter Aditi Singh is contesting from this seat in the upcoming assembly polls, traditionally represented by Sonia Gandhi in the Lok Sabha.
Amethi and Rae Bareli will vote in the 4th and 5th phases of polling on February 23 and February 27, respectively.
Congress will be contesting on 105 seats in the state with ally Samajwadi Party contesting from 298 out of a total of 403 seats.
"Priyanka Gandhi has always been a big support for Congress. Her presence makes a difference. Supporters and commoners like it when any big leader comes out in support of the party. I wish her all the best from the Samajwadi Party and hope that she wins more number of seats," said Samajwadi Party leader Juhi Singh.
Priyanka Gandhi played a key role in sewing the seat-sharing alliance of the two parties, according to which the Samajwadi Party and the Congress have fielded 298 and 105 candidates in the state, respectively.
