New Delhi: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has issued a notice to Congress General Secteray Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for the video showing children using derogatory language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Emboldened by the gesture of the newly Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and the party workers accompanying her, the children further went on the use of derogatory language against PM Modi. To this, Gandhi replied that they should not use such language and added that instead, the initial slogans were better.
Meanwhile, Congress party fielded Ajai Rai from the constituency against PM Narendra Modi and the speculations that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would be contesting from Varanasi were laid to rest.
