UP poll campaign : Sheila Dikshit begins three-day bus tour for mass contact
The bus was flagged off by Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son and deputy Rahul for a 600-km drive.
Accompanying the 78-year-old Dikhsit among others, are senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar, who has been named the head of the party in Uttar Pradesh.
The bus journey has been taken up to build up mass contact with the people and hold interactions with party workers at different places.
Soon after flagging-off the bus yatra, Rahul Gandhi tweeted:
"Join team Congress as we kick off a 3day bus yatra to highlight failures of successive Govts in UP."
