UP Assembly Election 2012: Robert Vadra hits campaign trail for congress

AMETHI: Priyanka Gandhi's husband Robert Vadra was latest to join the campaign trail from the family today taking out a motorcycle rally to drum up support for the Congress in this constituency.

Vadra and his daughter arrived here last night and he took part in the rally in Gauriganj area and this morning and later addressed the electorate in Salon assembly segments of Amethi, which is a Gandhi family pocket borough.

In an informal chat with news persons, Vadra said that he is lending support as a family member to take forward Rahul's message, though both Rahul and Priyanka do not require any help as can be seen.

"I have come to share and take Rahul's message to villages and every corner", he said.

To a question whether it was time for Rahul to become the prime minister, he said that he could not speak on the issue.

Priyanka who has been here since the past February 3 would be addressing about 20 meetings all over the constituency today before she is expected to leave later in the day.

According to Congress sources, Rahul Gandhi is also scheduled to address three meetings on February 11 in Sultanpur, Gauriganj and Rae Bareli assembly constituencies, where polling is scheduled for February 15.
