Priyanka started election compaining from modi s home town
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will address her first public rally in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home State Gujarat along with sibling and party president Rahul Gandhi on February 28.Besides Priyanka and Rahul, the rally will also be addressed by Sonia Gandhi, who last made a public speech in November last year in Telangana during the Assembly polls. The decision of Priyanka to begin first public address from Trimandir Ground, Adalaj, is to signal the intent to take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah on their home turf.The rally will be followed by the Congress Working Committee meeting which is scheduled in Ahemdabad after 60 years. The Adalaj rally follows Rahul’s February 14 address in tribal Lal Dungri village in Valsad district.This is the same village where his grandmother Indira Gandhi in 1980, his father Rajiv Gandhi in 1984, and his mother Sonia Gandhi in 2004 started their campaigns and romped home to power.Party spokesperson Shaktisinh Gohil said the Adalaj rally will be the biggest in Gujarat in recent times.“The preparations are in full swing for the rally which will be the biggest in Gujarat’s history. While the resentment against Modi and the BJP is palpable in Gujarat, the enthusiasm among the people and party cadres is on an all-time high. This will be the first time that the people of Gujarat will witness Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi address from the same podium,” Gohil said.After being appointed as the general secretary in charge of east Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka along with Rahul and fellow general secretary Jyotiraditya Scindia held a roadshow in Lucknow on February 11 and also interacted with party cadres.Priyanka Gandhi Vadra cancelled her maiden Press meet as the Congress general secretary in Lucknow on February 14 following the terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir in which 44 CRPF troopers were killed.The 51st CWC meeting which is the party’s highest decision-making body will deliberate on preparing the party’s strategy for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The State has 26 Lok Sabha seats on offer, and the Congress had not won even a single seat in the 2014 elections.
