Watch: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra dances ‘Jhumur’ with young performers in Assam

Assam, March 1: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is in Assam ahead of assembly elections as part of the party campaign, on Monday joined in to do the ‘Jhumur’ dance with a group of young performers of the tea tribes in Lakhimpur.

Gandhi, who was surrounded by a huge crowd of media personnel, supporters, and party workers, danced along to the beats of dhol tapping her feet and swaying her legs along with the dancers.

Gandhi was dressed in a purple saree with a traditional Assamese scarf around her neck as she gave all smiles to the cameras while dancing to the traditional beats, as seen in a video shared on Twitter. Neither the Congress leader nor the teens performing with her were wearing face masks.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is on a two-day visit to Assam to launch the Congress campaign for the three-phased assembly election that begins on March 27.

Clad in a red outfit, the prevalent colour symbolizing Shakti, the Congress leader said that she wanted to visit the temple for long and “her wish has come true”.
