Priyanka's entry will help to regain lost ground in UP in polls: Congress
The Congress in Uttar Pradesh said Priyanka Gandhi's entry into formal politics will enthuse party workers to regain lost ground in the state in the Lok Sabha polls.
"This is an opportunity for the Congress to strike back in the most crucial state of the country where the organization had all through been wanting her to plunge into active politics," Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson Rajiv Bakshi told PTI.
"We welcome both Priyankaji and Jyotiraditya Scindia to lead all of us, and look forward to a 40 plus tally for the party in the coming Lok Sabha polls," Bakshi said.
His reaction came after the appointment of Priyanka Gandhi as Congress general secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh East. Jyotiraditya Scindia is the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary for UP East.
The party's state unit was not immediately clear on the division of the 80 parliamentary seats between the two new in-charges. But some leaders believed it could be 40 each.
