The 24-hour detention of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Mirzapur by the UP government, while she was on way to meet the Sonebhadra district caste carnage victims' families has given a major boost to the party workers and has re-energized the cadre across the country.

Following the detention on Friday, the Congress workers came out on streets across the country and staged protests against the Yogi Adityanath-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state.
