LUCKNOW: Projecting itself as the only hope for Uttar Pradesh, the Congress on Friday released an election promo, during its two-day review meeting presided over by party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
The video, being circulated by the party cadre, presents Congress as the only option against what they called the ‘divisive cult of politics that hovers around caste, class and religion’. The promo also showcases the failures of the ruling BJP government, and blames it for the problems being faced by the people.
The election and strategy units of the UP Congress also announced to launch ‘Congress Pratigya Yatra – Ham Vachan Nibhayenge’, a massive public connect drive. The Yatra, leaders said, will work towards reviving the party’s bond with the people.
Priyanka discussed in detail the route map of the yatra that will traverse through 12,000 kilometres across the length and breadth of UP.
Activities around the campaign such as street plays, night halts in cities and villages were also finalized. UPCC spokesperson Sachin Rawat said that every unit of the Congress has been asked to join the drive and expose the BJP government.
“The public sentiment is against the ruling party and the Yatra will provide people a platform to voice their feelings. We will try to explain to them why Congress should be the only alternative for them,” Rawat said. UPCC chief Ajay Kumar Lallu said the party has been able to build the cadre over the past one and a half years.
“Over 831 block-level and 8134 nyay panchayat level committees have been formed. The process to appoint ward level committees is in the final stages,” he said.
