Summary
A leader associated with the Uttar Pradesh Congress Party says that Rahul Gandhi’s low activity was the subject of discussion among the most public. He says that it was being speculated that Rahul Gandhi would reach Rae Bareli. Apart from this, official demands were made for Rahul Gandhi’s rally, public meeting and roadshow from some other districts including Kushinagar Deoria Noida Mathura of Uttar Pradesh but Rahul Gandhi did not reach those places.
In the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Congress had made its big leaders star campaigners. The plan was that these big faces would get down on the ground and go among the people and make the people aware of the policies of the Congress. Now the elections are over. The results will come after three days. But even before that, questions are being raised within the Congress as to why the Congress had fielded star campaigners on paper. In this, questions are being raised from Rahul Gandhi to former cabinet ministers including Chief Ministers of Congress ruled states. After all, why did these people not campaign in the Uttar Pradesh elections.
big names included
Even before the results of the Uttar Pradesh assembly, many senior Congress leaders are brainstorming that what was the compulsion of the Congress that big leaders did not come here to campaign. A senior Congress leader says that in the list prepared of star campaigners, about 75 percent of the leaders did not even come to campaign. Even if some came, they returned after holding one or two public meetings just for the sake of food. Senior Congress leaders say that the star campaigners of Uttar Pradesh Congress include Congress leader Digvijay Singh, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, former cabinet minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, strong leader Kamal Nath and Punjab State Congress President. Many big leaders like Navjot Singh Sidhu were about to come for elections in Uttar Pradesh.
A senior leader of the Uttar Pradesh Congress says that whatever the outcome may be, the party should think about this matter very seriously. Because it does not convey the message clearly to the public. He says, it is a different matter that BJP has a government at the Centre. That’s why most of their cabinet ministers, chief ministers and MPs of BJP ruled states were present not only in the entire Uttar Pradesh elections, but the manner in which they campaigned unitedly in the last phase is an example. The said Congress leader alleges that it is not that we do not have big faces, but the crisis is of the leadership. They say that the Congress is still being run by a select few, due to which things turn around when they are on track.
Rahul is also included in the very few who come.
Rahul Gandhi’s name is also included in the very few leaders in Uttar Pradesh. The said Congress leaders tell that apart from Amethi, Rahul Gandhi did a road show in Banaras only. Congress leaders discuss that it may have happened under a scheme, but what is the use of such a scheme, in which you cannot even talk to your voter. Many senior leaders of the Congress office also discuss that Sachin Pilot joined Priyanka Gandhi only in a road show. While he was included in the list of star campaigners. In the same manner, former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s son and MP Deepender Hooda also kept on visiting Priyanka Gandhi but her big meetings did not take place. Kanhaiya Kumar, one of the star campaigners of Congress, also returned after finishing the election tour in just two days. In the same way, Hardik Patel was also included in the star campaigners of Uttar Pradesh, but he too went away in the last phase in just one day.
The electoral reins in Uttar Pradesh remained entirely in the hands of Priyanka Gandhi. Congress leaders say that along with Priyanka Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was a star campaigner and his visit was also regular. Apart from this, Acharya Pramod Krishnam and Imran Pratapgadhi, who were included in the star campaigners, also kept on holding their meetings and recording their presence in different areas of Uttar Pradesh. A leader associated with the Uttar Pradesh Congress Party says that Rahul Gandhi’s low activity was the subject of discussion among the most public. He says that it was being speculated that Rahul Gandhi would reach Rae Bareli. Apart from this, official demands were made for Rahul Gandhi’s rally, public meeting and road show from some other districts including Kushinagar Deoria Noida Mathura in Uttar Pradesh but Rahul Gandhi did not reach those places.
Some people will be out of the system
A big leader of the central leadership associated with the Congress says that he has been continuously demanding that star campaigners should get full opportunity. He told on the condition of anonymity that whatever the result, it will not only be respected but will also prepare more vigorously for the next election season. The said leader made it clear in gestures that some so-called people were involved in the assembly elections of Uttar Pradesh, who showed gross negligence in implementing the election management properly. He says that other responsible people of the party are also aware of this. He says that in the coming elections, such people will be thrown out of the system in many ways.
