After the BJP star campaigners, the Congress is now bringing in Priyanka Gandhi for a roadshow here. On Thursday, Priyanka Gandhi will take part in a roadshow in Sirsa. In the past elections, former PM Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and former president Sonia Gandhi had come here to campaign. Earlier on Monday, the BJP organised a massive rally of its star campaigner, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, at Sirsa’s Kapas Mandi.
