TIL Desk/National/UP-Congress has finally decided to project Priyanka Gandhi, the daughter of party president Sonia Gandhi, as the leader of its campaign for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2017.
Congress spokesperson in UP Satya Dev Tripathi said that Priyanka will venture out of Rae Bareli and Amethi, where she has campaigned for Congress in the past, and hold 150 rallies across UP.
The party is also planning to hold a convention in Lucknow in mid-July once party vice-president Rahul Gandhi comes back to India from his vacation abroad. In that convention, Rahul will launch the campaign and present Priyanka as its leader.
