This is Ms. Priyanka Gandhi’s second visit to Uttar Pradesh this month, the first one being between September 8 and 13.
The Congress had fought the 2017 state assembly polls in alliance with the Samajwadi Party but had managed to win just seven of the 114 seats it had contested with a vote share of 6.25 %.
This time, the Congress party has decided against having any poll alliance with any big party.
