LUCKNOW: Boosting the morale of the organisational cadre, Congress national general secretary and UP in charge Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday said the role of workers was crucial to the party’s prospects in the 2022 assembly elections.
Reviewing poll preparedness, Priyanka Gandhi held marathon meetings with organisational leaders and said workers should be prepared to work round-the-clock.
She also held zone-wise meetings with respective office-bearers, the spokesperson said, adding brainstorming sessions were also held to chalk out election strategy.
Stating that a strong organisation is equally important for nation-building, she said the commitment of every worker counted. On ticket distribution, she said the office-bearers would play an important role in deciding the candidates. Spokesperson Uma Shankar Singh said Gandhi also discussed the issue of farmers’ protest.
SP-backed Kheri nominee in Cong
SP-supported block pramukh candidate from Lakhimpur Kheri who was manhandled and disrobed by the rivals from BJP on the nomination day for block pramukh election in July joined the Congress in the presence of national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who had paid a visit to her in July.
Party to have four working presidents
The UP Congress may soon have four working presidents to give a boost to poll campaign . Sources said while it would dilute the role of UPCC president Ajay Kumar Lallu who worked very hard to re-build organisational set up, it would put to rest the voice of dissent against him.
