Priyanka Gandhi roadshow: Won't rest till Congress comes to power in UP, says Rahul Gandhi

Background

Congress roadshow in UP LIVE UPDATES: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday flagged-off 'Mission UP' with a mega roadshow in Lucknow weeks after making her entry into active politics as the Congress general secretary in-charge for eastern UP. Priyanka is being accompanied by her brother and party President Rahul Gandhi, Jyotiraditya Scindia and other senior party leaders. This is Priyanka Gandhi's first public rally which covers a stretch of around 15 kms from Lucknow airport to Nehru Bhawan Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) headquarters. Both Priyanka and Rahul received a grand welcome by party workers. This roadshow is said to be Congress' first mega show of strength in Uttar Pradesh ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha Polls. 

All roads leading to Congress’s office in Lucknow from Amausi Airport are decked up with hoardings, banners and posters welcoming the three leaders. The roadshow will weave its way through important places in the city like Charbagh railway station, Hussainganj, GPO, Raj Bhawan round-about and Hazratganj. After the roadshow, the three leaders will garland the statues of Dr BR Ambedkar, Mahatama Gandhi and Sardar Patel at GPO in Hazratganj.

A team of the Special Protection Group (SPG) is already camping ahead of the visit and is finalising the security plan, which includes sanitising the area where the Priyanka will move around in the office. Reportedly, Rahul Gandhi is likely to return to Delhi the same day, Priyanka and Scindia will stay in UP for the next three days holding to hold meetings with office bearers and also plan the strategy for upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

In-charge of 42 of the 80 Lok Sabha constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi will meet senior leaders of the party constituency-wise during her visit. Each constituency is being allotted a different time to meet the senior leadership, during which all issues related to their areas will be discussed in detail. Priyanka and Scindia will hold meetings for around 12 hours daily during their visit. 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.
