Priyanka Gandhi Plans To Revamp Party In UP With New Blood

New Delhi: Stunned by the rout in the Lok Sabha battle, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi is working on a plan to revamp the country’s oldest political party across Uttar Pradesh keeping in mind the 2022 Assembly elections. Party sources said that Gandhi, who is in charge of eastern UttarPradesh, has put a team in place after taking critical feedback from various constituencies.

The source said that after discussions with all district Congress committees in Uttar Pradesh, Gandhi has asked her team members, which includes Secretaries, to visit each district and spend a day or two there to get feedback from activists and voters. Four teams have been touring the state for the last one month to know what led to the washout of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh where it could win only one Lok Sabha seat.

Even Congress President Rahul Gandhi was defeated by the BJP in a place that was supposed to be a Gandhi family stronghold. Gandhi, who is said to be upset with both party leaders and workers in Uttar Pradesh, is expected to infuse young leaders in the party at every level, replacing many senior leaders. She felt that the proximity of many activists with senior leaders had reduced the party to such a condition.

Priyanka Gandhi also wants leaders of other parties who joined the Congress and have good public support base to be given prominence. (IANS)
