Join me for new kind of politics: Priyanka

A day before she embarks on ‘Mission Uttar Pradesh’, AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday issued an audio message to party workers urging them to embark on a “new kind of politics” with her.

“I am coming tomorrow (Monday) 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,you’re your voices will be heard. Come with me to build this new future and this new politics,” Priyanka said in the message in Hindi.

Priyanka, who was appointed AICC General Secretary last month and given the charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, is visiting Lucknow along with AICC General Secretary Jyotiraditya Scindia and Congress President Rahul Gandhi.

The Uttar Pradesh Congress has planned a grand welcome for the three leaders, who would proceed in a procession from the Lucknow Airport to Rajiv Bhawan, the office of the party’s state unit.

Congress sources said Priyanka’s primary task was to make the party a force to reckon with for the assembly election in 2022 and at the same time try their best to improve the party’s prospects in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Scindia, who is in charge of western Uttar Pradesh, also issued a brief audio statement.

“The youth of Uttar Pradesh need a roadmap for the future and the state needs change. Come join us to bring change to Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
