Priyanka Gandhi envisages Congress 'war rooms' to fight U.P. assembly polls

The Congress has announced that it would fight the 2022 U.P. polls without aligning with any big political party.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday envisaged setting up “war rooms” right up to district level, aimed at receiving feedback from the ground and taking prompt decisions on emergent issues as part of the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls strategy.

Ms. Gandhi mooted the idea while deliberating upon various strategies to be adopted by the party in preparation for the upcoming State Assembly polls during a meeting with the party's State unit leaders. The other issues that she discussed included the route of the party’s Pratigya Yatra, setting up training camps for booth management and party units at the village level, party leaders said.

"At the meeting with party leaders at her residence here, Priyanka Ji also discussed the route for the party's proposed ‘Pratigya Yatra’. Training camps, setting up of war rooms and party's Gram Sabha units were also deliberated upon," U.P. Congress chief Ajay Kumar Lallu told reporters.
