Mirzapur, Mar 19 (UNI/IBNS) With an aim to strengthen the Congress party's prospects in the Lok Sabha elections, Congress General Secretary for eastern Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday reached her next destination Mirzapur in her ongoing 'Ganga Yatra.'
Vadra who is also set to visit Varanasi from Prayagraj through the Ganges, reached here through a road route and paid obeisance at the Maa Vindhyavasini temple.
The Congress leader, who reached the district five hours late than the scheduled time conducted an 'aarti' at the temple.
Security was tight during the visit of Vadra. The entire temple premises had been vacated due to which the devotees present there had to face numerous difficulties.
The enthusiastic Congress party workers present outside the temple hailed the deity and raised slogans in favour of Vadra.
Due to the delay in Vadra's schedule, the world-famous 'Trikon Parikrama Yatra' was cancelled but the programme of paying obeisance at the 'Dargah of Kantit Sharif' was performed.
