A video that surfaced all over media has come up as a move for high octane campaigning showing politics played with children by Congress. Recently, in the viral video, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was caught laughing while children raised the slogans of “Chowkidar Chor Hai.”
Your hatred for PM Modi so deep rooted @priyankagandhi that you actually giggle gleefully when little children shower him with filthy abuses just to score some brownie points from you?? Being a mother yourself, didn't you feel ashamed of your actions even for a minute?? #Shame pic.twitter.com/NqSuDyX0Yy

Reports suggest that this occurred when Priyanka Gandhi was running before her schedule during her visit in Amethi and the children were waiting for her for more than four hours.
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPR) complained to Election Commission Spokesperson and Election Commission of India for Voter Awareness.

Among the prominent people that shared the clip are Union Minister Smriti Irani, who indirectly criticized Priyanka Gandhi, describing the proceedings as “uncouth to the core”. Irani’s tweet was quote-tweeted by actor and BJP MP Paresh Rawal.
