A day before her maiden visit to Uttar Pradesh as Congress general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra said that together with the people of the state she hopes to
start a “new kind of politics” in which everyone will be a stakeholder.
Priyanka and Jyotiraditya Scindia will arrive in Lucknow Monday on
their first trip to the state after being appointed the Congress general
secretary in-charges of eastern and western UP respectively.
They will be accompanied by Congress president Rahul Gandhi — all
three visiting the crucial state for the first time after the
appointments announced last month.
“I am coming tomorrow to Lucknow to meet all of you. I have hope in
my heart that together we will start a new kind of politics, a politics
in which all of you will be stakeholders — my young friends, my sisters
and even the weakest person, all their voices will be heard,” said
Gandhi through the Congress’s Shakti App.
Congress workers are planning a roadshow when the three leaders travel from the airport to the party’s state headquarter.
The party in Uttar Pradesh is seeing the visit as the virtual launch
of the Congress campaign in the state, ahead of the coming Lok Sabha
elections.
“Come, let’s build a new future, new politics with me. Thank you,”
she said in her message to the people ahead of the visit to the state.
Scindia, in his message, said: “Tomorrow I am coming to be with you.
The youth of Uttar Pradesh need a roadmap for the future and the state
needs change.”
“Come align with us and bring change to Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
The two general secretaries will interact with party workers at the
state Congress office in Lucknow on February 12, 13 and 14, while Rahul
Gandhi is likely to return the same day.
