Meanwhile, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Saturday attacked the BJP, alleging that the party was distributing Rs. 20,000 to village heads in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi, instead of handing out its election manifestoes.

Addressing an election meeting, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "Money is being distributed here. The Congress has distributed its election manifesto among the public, but the BJP is not distributing manifestoes, it is distributing Rs. 20,000 to village pradhans."

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also attacked Union minister Smriti Irani, who is contesting from Amethi on BJP ticket. "She is doing drama in your constituency. She has herself come here 16 times, while your MP has visited the place twice as much. He has even stayed in villages," the Congress leader said.

She also took a dig at BJP leaders over the issue of stray animals and asked whether any of them had come to the people's agricultural fields to do ''chowkidaari'' and safeguard them from stray animals.
