Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh): With Congress leader, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked to vacate her government bungalow in Delhi's Lodhi Estate by August 1, an admirer and supporter of Vadra has offered her his house in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi.
Puneet Mishra, a residence of Khojwa area in Varanasi, has put up a nameplate outside his two-storeyed house which reads: "H/O Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, General Secretary, All India Congress Committee (AICC)".
"Priyanka Gandhi has been given a one-month notice period to vacate her house in Delhi. Since I am a huge admirer and supporter of hers, I decided to offer her my house which can be used by her as per her convenience," Mishra told ETV Bharat.
Mishra added, "With elections in Uttar Pradesh nearing, it would serve her well to stay at Varanasi and fight the elections. She can use this house as an office and her residence as well. This house is equipped to accommodate not just Priyanka Gandhi but her entire family as well."
