The proposed Priyanka visit comes in the backdrop of BJP leaders in Uttar Pradesh pushing for a rally by Modi in Amethi where BJP's Smriti Irani and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi are in the fray.

Congress leaders say that Priyanka will not campaign in Varanasi but only wants to visit so that she can offer a puja at the famous Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple.

However, Congress leaders say her proposed visit can boost the morale of local party workers.

Referring to the possibility of Modi campaigning in Amethi, a senior BJP leader told HT that the party had received a request from its leaders there. "It is under consideration. A decision hasn't been taken yet".
