LUCKNOW: A day after being accorded a grand welcome, Congress general secretary and east UP in charge Priyanka Gandhi Vadra promptly got down to work and met party workers and sought details of their WhatsApp , Twitter and other social media accounts, signalling that she intended to use the platform in a big way. She also enquired about their caste and sub-caste.

Soon after landing in the state capital on Tuesday morning, Priyanka remained huddled with senior leaders and office-bearers and later with party workers from various parliamentary constituencies in east UP. The parliamentary constituency-wise meetings began around 2pm.

Party leaders and workers from Unnao, followed by Mohanlalganj, Kaushambi, Pratapgarh, Fatehpur and Allahabad met Priyanka initially. The meeting on Lucknow was held in two parts while the ones on Amethi and Rae Bareli were scheduled after dinner.

The elaborate discussions to spur the party's preparations for coming Lok Sabha elections also involved submission of certain details in a form. The party workers were asked to share details of their WhatsApp, Twitter and other social media accounts, along with their caste and sub-caste. The section included detail-specific questions that stumped many leaders and workers.
