The assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh are two years away but the Congress party has already started preparing for the big turf. The party has announced seven committees for the polls in the state. This exercise primarily was meant to send a message that the party is working dedicatedly and very seriously about the key state of the country and is ready to face the electoral challenge present there.
While many names were announced as the leaders, a few prominent names including former Union minister Jitin Prasada, ex-UP Congress chief Raj Babbar and AICC Jharkhand in-charge R P N Singh, were excluded from the committees.
The Congress party is trying its level best to make a comeback in the politically significant state but is not making much of progress lately.
The last elections in the state in the year 2017 resulted pathetic for the party as despite its alliance with the Samajwadi Party, the party was able to bag only seven seats. This happened even after Rahul Gandhi did an extensive campaigning for the state himself. However, he too lost from the Nehru-Gandhi bastion of Amethi.
As per the Congress leaders, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who took charge as the general secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh months ahead of the Lok Sabha election, is planning to put their best foot forward in the upcoming elections in 2020. As per the reports, the party has already started holding meetings for preparing g the manifesto and the first meeting in this context was held in January in Kanpur.
There are several other panels created which will be responsible for outreach, membership, programmer implementation, training and cadre development, panchayat polls, and media and communication.
