Banda (Uttar Pradesh): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday calling him "Pradhan Prachar Mantri" and accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of "wasting drinking water" in Banda, a town in Uttar Pradesh's arid Bundelkhand region.
Vadra tweeted a video showing people sweeping as a water tanker splashes water on the road.
Priyanka Gandhi claimed that water from tankers was being used to clean roads to "welcome our Pradhan Prachar Mantri (chief publicity minister)".
This is happening "when the entire Bundelkhand, the men, and women living there, school going children, crops, birds, and animals are facing the terror of drought," she said in her tweet.

Modi is scheduled to address an election rally in Banda on Thursday.
