Priyanka also said that being a housewife she also has a loud voice, a fact which her husband -- Robert Vadra -- can vouch for, a remark which drew laughter from the crowd.

Speaking at a corner meeting at Chungathara here, the Congress leader said, "I have been a housewife for 30 years, so I have a loud voice. You can ask my husband, he will tell you. Also when I fight, I really fight. So, you have a fighter here for you.

"If you give me a chance, I will raise your problems on every platform and I will fight for your cause. I will not disappoint you, I will not let you down." Priyanka held corner meetings at four places in Wayanad during the second day of her two-day bypoll campaign in the hill constituency.
