Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who recently took a dip in the Sangam, or the confluence, had rowed a boat for some time on her way back. Now, a video of the politician is doing rounds on the social media.

An animated Priyanka was seen taking the oars from boatman Sujeet Nishad, and learning from him how to handle them. She later thanked him for a “joyful ride”. In the video, the boatman is heard lauding her efforts, saying “she is rowing very well”.

The general secretary of the Congress party was visiting Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh on the occasion on “Mauni Amavasya” earlier this week.

While Vadra performed puja and took a boat ride, the government arranged “Pushpon ki varsha”, showering pilgrims with petals.
