Who is Reeta Yadav?
Rita Yadav was earlier in the Samajwadi Party. She was feeling neglected in SP, so dhe had joined Congress recently. Rita Yadav was in limelight recently as she showed black flags to PM Modi who came to inaugurate Purvanchal Expressway.
Rita Yadav raised slogans of Yogi Murdabad after reaching very close to PM Modi's stage. Rita was successful in showing the black flag by breaking the security cordon of the Prime Minister in which even bird could not enter.
She had joined the membership only in the presence of Priyanka Gandhi. She is also a contender for Congress ticket from Lambhua assembly.
