Priyanka kick starts Lok Sabha campaign in UP |
The Congress`s Saviour and the chief of the easter UP congress party Priyanka Gandhi finally landed into her bastion. She was welcomed by the large number of party workers outside the Airport. She went to the party office by road. It was a 30 KM`s long rally of Priyanka Vadra who along with her brother and congress party president Rahul Gandhi and senior party leader Jyotiraditya Scindia was in the state to lead the party for the upcoming general elections. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, is been seen as the party`s big hope for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, announced her entry into politics as the party`s general secretary in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh two weeks ago. Reviving Congress fortunes in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh will be a symbolic victory for the party as Allahabad has been home to the Nehru family and was also former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri`s Lok Sabha seat. The last two Lok Sabha elections in eastern Uttar Pradesh, for the Gorakhpur and Phulpur constituencies, were disastrous for the Congress. Eastern Uttar Pradesh currently has strongholds of both Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
