Congress today dismissed speculation that Priyanka Gandhi will campaign only in Amethi and Raebareli and charged the BJP with spreading disinformation on the issue.

"Over 100 people have died in the tragedy. The whole country is looking at the Madhya Pradesh government which could not even provide police arrangement at the place. It (news about Priyanka Gandhi) is attempt by some people to divert attention from the issue and to hide MP Government's failure," he told reporters.
