Priyanka Gandhi meets family of farmer who died during tractor rally violence

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday arrived in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur district to meet the family members of farmer Navreet Singh, who died in an accident during the farmers' tractor rally in the national capital on Republic Day.


She was accompanied by the other party leaders and was seen interacting with the late farmers' family.


On her way, the Congress leader was seen cleaning the windshield of her vehicle.

Her driver had to stop allegedly due to poor visibility through the windshield.


Earlier today, vehicles in her cavalcade collided with each other on Hapur Road, on her way to Rampur. However, no injuries were reported.


Navreet Singh died in the clash after his tractor overturned after ramming into a barricade.

Delhi Police had released CCTV footage showing the farmer's tractor overturning after ramming into barricades at ITO.


Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has conducted three press conferences in the last 15 days and had put forth the demand of repealing the farm laws.


Congress has been continuously maintaining its stand on Farm Laws against the government and demanding a repeal of the laws.

Parliament was reconvened on Wednesday after protests on issues related to farmers by Opposition and multiple adjournments of both Houses.
