As Priyanka holds roadshows in Delhi, many see image of Indira Gandhi in her

As Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra held impressive back-to-back roadshows in Delhi on Wednesday, many residents said her face and mannerisms reminded them of her grandmother Indira Gandhi.

Neighbours Urmila and Munni in South Delhi's Madangir area, stood on a road divider and waved at Priyanka Gandhi as her caravan passed through busy streets.

"She's a spitting image of Indira Gandhi. She looks just the same, same hairstyle, she reminds us of our Indiraji," said an excited Urmila.

They both said they had seen former prime minister Indira Gandhi during rallies and felt Priyanka Gandhi's playing a larger role in the party has "revitalised" the party.

"I had seen Indira Gandhi at a rally in Aligarh...Today, when BJP politicians attack Nehruji or other members of the Nehru-Gandhi family, our affection for the family only multiplies," Munni said.

The roadshow in South Delhi on Wednesday evening, held in support of her party's South Delhi candidate Vijender Singh, began around 7 pm from Virat Cinema and culminated at 8 pm at Tigri traffic intersection on Mehrauli Badarpur Road spanning about 3 km.

Congress supporters, some dressed in party colours, other sporting t-shirts bearing image of the Olympian boxer Singh and others waving party flags lined the entire route and chanted slogans like -- "Boxer bhai zindabad, Priyanka Gandhi zindabad", as the duo waved at the elated crowd that included people of all ages.

Among the crowd was former Congress councillor from Delhi Om Wati, 54, who also said, "Priyanka Gandhi reminds me a lot about Indira ji."
His friend, Shanker, standing beside him, smiled and corrected him, "She is Priyanka Gandhi."
