RAYAGRAJ (UP):  Congress General secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on Thursday, took a holy dip at Sangam — the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati — on the occasion of “Mauni Amavasya’.

She arrived in Allahabad with her children at around 12 PM. From there she visited Anand Bhawan. She took the holy dip in the waters and offered prayers. The Congress leader went to Sangam by boat amid tight security.

After her dip, Priyanka Gandhi visited Mankamneshar temple to meet Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati before leaving for New Delhi.

Earlier, Priyanka arrived in Prayagraj and visited Anand Bhawan, the ancestral home of the Nehru family. Here she offered floral tributes at the place where late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s ashes were kept before they were immersed in the Ganga river. She also interacted with the children of the orphanage in Anand Bhawan and spoke to them on various issues. Priyanka is scheduled to return to Delhi, later in the evening.

Priyanka Gandhi, who was in Saharanpur on Wednesday to address a farmer rally, has lately been making all-out efforts to revive the party's support base in Uttar Pradesh before the state assembly elections to be held next year.
