New Delhi: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday released the first list of 125 Congress candidates for the Uttar Pradesh elections. In this list, 50 tickets have been given to women only.
plan to surround BJP
In the list that was released, priority has been given to such women, on the basis of which Priyanka Gandhi wants to surround the BJP. For example, in the Unnao rape case, the victim’s mother, Asha Singh, has been given a ticket from the same constituency from where accused Kuldeep Sengar was elected MLA in 2017. Who is now jailed in this rape and murder case.
Tickets given to famous women
Asha worker Poonam Pandey has also got the ticket, who opposed Yogi Adityanath in Shahjahanpur rally in the year 2020. Along with this, Congress has also given ticket to Sadaf Zafar, who demonstrated against the citizenship law. He has been accused of spreading violence in Lucknow and inciting people to pelt stones at the police.
With this you can understand the real character of Congress. The Congress which is fighting this time’s UP election in the name of girls, has fought the last election in the name of boys. These boys were Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav. At that time the people of UP did not give even 15 percent of the 403 seats to these boys of UP. Whereas BJP formed the government with a thumping majority by winning 312 seats.
This type of politics in the name of women empowerment is not new in our country. Women are given tickets by the parties in the elections, but it is also true that these tickets are given to only those women whose family members are in active politics.
For example, Congress has given ticket to Salman Khurshid’s wife from Farrukhabad seat in Uttar Pradesh today. Apart from this, Aradhana Mona Mishra has got the ticket, who is the daughter of former Congress Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari. Congress has also given ticket to Tanuj Punia, wife of former MP Brijlal Khabri and son of PL Punia.
This time a big challenge in front of Priyanka Gandhi is that she does not have army to contest elections. The organization of the Congress party is very weak at the grassroots level.
