Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s visit to Kerala has gone viral — not for a fiery political speech, but for an unexpectedly adorable encounter. While touring a dairy farm in Thiruvambady, Wayanad, Priyanka met a cow amusingly named Alia Bhatt, sparking laughter and admiration online.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Priyanka shared a cheerful video of her feeding and petting the cows. “Met a group of dairy farmers at a dairy farm run by the loveliest family (and even encountered a cow named Alia Bhatt!! Due apologies to Ms. Bhatt @aliaa08, but she was really a cutie pie!),” she wrote, adding a playful apology to Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt.

The heartwarming clip quickly won over social media users, with thousands praising Priyanka’s warmth and humor. Many lauded her for connecting with locals in a natural, relatable way — a rare moment of lightness in India’s usually heated political atmosphere.

Yet, beneath the charm of the viral moment lay a serious message. Priyanka used her platform to shed light on the mounting struggles of India’s dairy farmers. She pointed to key concerns such as rising veterinary costs, limited insurance support, and poor access to quality cattle feed.

“Unfortunately, dairy farmers are struggling with multiple difficulties and many are unable to make ends meet,” Priyanka noted, adding that she plans to write to the concerned ministry to demand better assistance for farmers.
