Congress will win on it’s own; Priyanka Gandhi
On Sunday, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra knocked out any chances of pre- UP poll alliance with any other political parties for Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in next year. Priyanka
Gandhi said, “If Congress has to win, it will win on its own.”
While Addressing the Congress party’s ‘Pratigya Sammelan-Lakshya 2022’ in Bulandshahar, Priyanka said, “We will nominate only Congress workers for all Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats.”
Last month, the opposition party in UP, Samajwadi party Chief Akhilesh Yadav, told CNN-News18, “Our experience of alliances with bigger parties had been bitter. We therefore now look forward to bringing in smaller parties together and not the bigger ones.”
He added, “I don’t think SP will have any alliance with Congress or BSP.”
The Congress recently promised 40 per cent tickets to women in the coming assembly elections to be in next year. Priyanka Gandhi said that the main reason behind this decision is making women, who constitute roughly half the vote bank, a “full-fledged partner in power”.
The AICC general secretary has been assigned with regaining the party’s lost ground in the political heartland task. There are chances that Congress could win only seven seats in the 403-member UP house election.
