Congress Workers Want Priyanka Gandhi As Uttar Pradesh CM Candidate

Rae Bareli: Congress workers from Uttar Pradesh are now demanding that the party should project Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as the party’s chief ministerial candidate for the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. While party leaders, who held day-long deliberations with the Congress General Secretary in-charge of the eastern part of the state, said that the party’s revival was sure if Gandhi was projected as Chief Minister in 2022.

Talking to reporters after the Thanksgiving dinner hosted by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi in Rae Bareli on Wednesday night, former Varanasi MP Rajesh Misra said: “We are requesting Priyanka Gandhi to strengthen the party for the upcoming bypolls and state elections. We have also conveyed to her that she should become the chief ministerial face to challenge the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).”

“Most of us believe that the main reason behind Congress’s drubbing is a weak organization in most constituencies. The same was also conveyed in the meeting. We have decided to work harder and strengthen our party at the booth level across Uttar Pradesh. “If Priyanka Gandhi starts a door to door campaign then we will definitely form the next government in the state,” he added. Congress candidate from Fatehpur constituency and former MP, Rakesh Sachan, said: “Party workers want Priyanka Gandhi to lead Congress in the Assembly polls. We have lost the elections because the BJP was able to successfully polarise the elections.” (IANS)
