New Delhi, September 29

Amid the Punjab Congress crisis, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra were in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh, respectively, attending to their political constituencies.

While Priyanka held one-on-meetings with Congress leaders in Lucknow to evolve an election plan, Rahul in Kozhikoze said the Congress saw India as people, whereas the RSS-BJP combine saw the country in terms of a map.

“Some people view India as a map. That is the vision of the BJP. Our vision is different. We see India as its people and the relationships they forge with one another,” said Rahul. He said for the Congress, India was no map.

“We carry India in our hearts. That is the difference between us and them,” said the Congress leader, at the inauguration of a recreation centre for senior citizens in Kozhikode. The Wayanad MP is in Kerala for a day.

Meanwhile, Priyanka met party leaders and workers at the UP Congress headquarters and assured that the issues of home buyers would be part of the party’s election manifesto. She is on a five-day visit to the poll-bound state.
