Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): Preparations are underway in the Congress office in Lucknow to welcome their newly-appointed General Secretary for Eastern Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and General Secretary for Uttar Pradesh West Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday.
Congress President Rahul Gandhi is slated to accompany Priyanka and Scindia.
Ahead of her first visit after being appointed as General Secretary for Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka said: “I am coming to Lucknow tomorrow and I wish that together we will begin a new politics and you be a part of it. Youth, women and marginalised, everyone’s voices will be heard. Let’s establish a new future and politics.”
UP Congress Committee (UPCC) president Raj Babbar said: “From February 18 onwards, Priyanka and Scindia will start public interactions in their respective areas.”
Priyanka and Scindia would stay till February 14, while Rahul is expected to return on the same day.
Since the announcement of SP-BSP alliance for the coming Lok Sabha polls in the state where two parties will contest on 38 seats each, the Congress leadership has been leaving nothing unturned to retain the party’s lost ground in the state, where they won only two seats—Rae Bareli and Amethi—in the last Lok Sabha polls.
