Priyanka has, over the past several months, been aggressively attacking the BJP on various issues. During the anti-CAA protests, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi were restrained in their criticism of the Centre over the controversial legislation. However, Priyanka had taken to the streets of Lucknow to express her solidarity with rights activists who were arrested for protesting against CAA. Ever since the coronavirus-induced restrictions kicked in with the nationwide lockdown on March 25, Priyanka has focussed her criticism against the BJP's Yogi Adityanath-led UP government. In May, she had launched a scathing attack on the Adityanath regime for turning down her offer of a 1000 buses, arranged and paid for by the Congress, to ferry migrants of the state who had been stranded in different parts of the country due to the lockdown. The bus row had seen the UP police arresting UP Congress chief Ajay Kumar 'Lallu' and other party workers on various charges. Priyanka had led her party's acerbic attack against the UP government over the arrests.
