Vadra, the younger sister of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, was warmly received by party workers at Patna airport

From there, she proceeded to Sadaqat Ashram, the headquarters of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee, where she is participating in the ‘Mahila Samvad’ — a dialogue with women across the state

This marks Vadra’s first public appearance in Bihar, a politically significant move as the state gears up for elections later this year

Independent MP Rajesh Ranjan (alias Pappu Yadav), a strong supporter of the Congress, welcomed her at the airport

Calling the occasion "historic," Yadav also took the opportunity to criticise the RJD and its allies, accusing them of remembering women’s issues only during election time
