I hope we all will make a new beginning in politics that will include you all. My young friends, my sisters, and weakest person, all will have a say. Come let’s build this new politics and a new future,” she said through the Congress’s Shakti App.

In another audio message, Scindia said: “I am reaching UP tomorrow. Uttar Pradesh’s youth needs a way for the future and the state needs change. Come, join us to bring about this change.”
