Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has said the Congress, if voted to power in Uttar Pradesh, will give smartphones to girls who clear the Class XII exams and electric scooters to graduates.

“I met some girl students yesterday (Wednesday). They said they needed smartphones for their education and safety. I am happy that the UP Congress has decided, with the consent of the declaration committee (of the party), to give smartphones to girls clearing the intermediate exams and electronic scooties to graduate girl students if the Congress forms the government,” Priyanka tweeted in Hindi on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Priyanka had spoken to several school and college girls after police had stopped her on her way to Agra. “She asked about us. We told her that we didn’t have phones, which was needed for our safety,” one of the girls told reporters.
