Congress basic secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who was scheduled to campaign in Assam all through the day today had to cancel her public meetings at the final moment immediately after her husband Robert Vadra tested positive for COVID-19. Though Priyanka Gandhi has tested adverse, she stated she has isolated herself as a precautionary measure given that she has been exposed to coronavirus. “Although I tested negative yesterday, the doctors have advised that I self-isolate for a few days,” she stated in a video message.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also stated that she is cancelling her election campaign schedule more than the next handful of days. “Unfortunately, I have to cancel the programme that was scheduled for me for the Assam campaign today and for Tamil Nadu tomorrow and Kerala, the day after tomorrow (Sunday),” she stated.
हाल में कोरोना संक्रमण के संपर्क में आने के चलते मुझे अपना असम दौरा रद्द करना पड़ रहा है। मेरी कल की रिपोर्ट नेगेटिव आई है मगर डॉक्टरों की सलाह पर मैं अगले कुछ दिनों तक आइसोलेशन में रहूँगी। इस असुविधा के लिए मैं आप सभी से क्षमाप्रार्थी हूँ। मैं कांग्रेस विजय की प्रार्थना करती हूँ pic.twitter.com/B1PlDyR8rc

Priyanka Gandhi is one of the star campaigners for the Congress party and has been campaigning in Assam, Tamil Nadu and Kerala extensively. If reports are to be believed, she is scheduled to campaign in West Bengal immediately after April 6. If she remains match, she may well campaign in West Bengal as planned.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wished good results to all the candidates she was supposed to campaign for. “I would like to apologise to everybody for not being able to be there. I wish all the candidates that I was supposed to campaign for the very, very best in the election. I hope all of you do well and the Congress is victorious,” she stated.
Earlier today, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit out at the Election Commission immediately after an EVM utilised in Assam Phase-2 polls was discovered in a BJP candidate’s vehicle. The EC suspended 4 officials and ordered re-polling in that unique booth saying that the officials took lift in the vehicle immediately after their automobile broke down mid-way. She asked the EC to come out with a clarification. “What a script! The car of the Election Commission broke down, then a vehicle appeared there. The vehicle turned out to be a BJP candidate. The innocent Election Commission continued to ride in it. Dear EC, what is the matter? Can you give the country some clarification on this? Or should we all bye-bye to EC’s fairness?” she questioned.
The Election Commission, in a statement, admitted to a violation of EVM transportation protocol and informed that 4 officials have been placed below suspension more than the violation.
