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

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

"Her hairstyle reminds us of our Indiraji," said Urmila. They both said they had seen  Indira during rallies and felt Priyanka's playing a larger role in the party has "revitalised" the party. "I had seen Indira 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 zindabad", as the duo waved at the crowd. Priyanka, wearing a maroon saree and perched atop a white SUV alongside Singh, traversed through the dusty streets of South Delhi, including Indira Camp near Virat Cinema.  

Along the route, she obliged a few supporters with a selfie and also greeted people who had stationed themselves in their home's balconies to catch a glimpse of her.
