Congress state chief Kamal Nath, senior leader Vivek Tankha, a Congressman dressed up as lord Hanuman with others were present at the ghat. Kamal Nath said, “Priyanka Gandhi had put a condition that she will perform Narmada Pujan before coming here. She performed pooja for 20 minutes.” In 2022, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had performed the pooja of Narmada during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Meanwhile, police tightened security in the city after receiving threat inputs. As many as 200 police personnel were deployed at the ghats for the security of Priyanka Gandhi.
