Why Priyanka Gandhi was sweeping floor of this temple in Lucknow

• Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi visited a Dalit locality on Friday and picked up a broom to sweep the floor of a Valmiki temple. Priyanka was responding to a barb thrown at her by UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for sweeping the floor of Sitapur guest house where she was detained. The Congress general secretary took on UP CM’s ‘casteist comments’ and announced that all district committees of the party will clean Valmiki temples on Saturday. In a reply to a query over Priyanka Gandhi's act of sweeping the floor during her detention, Adityanath earlier in the day had said people want them to be fit only for this and they reduce them to it. In response to the chief minister's remark, Priyanka Gandhi descended on a Dalit colony and picked up a broom, saying it is a symbol of simplicity and self-respect.
