Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is busy campaigning in eastern Uttar Pradesh ahead of the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha polls. On Thursday, she opted for a novel outreach in the basti of snake charmers Hansa Ka Poorva, Bela Bhela in her mother and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi's constituency of Raebareli.

Not only did she spend time with the charmers, she also handled the snakes they had with them with a coolness that caught everyone's eye. "It won't do anything. Why are you afraid?" she was quoted as saying to a man beside her.
