Congress to distribute calendars chronicling Priyanka’s journey
Lucknow, Jan. 21: With its eye on the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, the Congress is preparing to distribute across the state calendars chronicling the political journey of party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
These calendars include pictures from the Congress leader's various public contact programmes, especially in the state, media incharge of Congress' Uttar Pradesh unit Lallan Kumar said on Thursday.
He said 10 lakh calendars have been sent to be distributed in every village and up to the ward level in cities. Instructions in this regard have been issued to party office-bearers.
The district and city units are being given calendars according to their population, he added.
CWC members.
Last month Mrs. Gandhi had met some of these letter writers in a bid assuage their feelings and to initiate the free flow of ideas. Back room parleys have also been held with these leaders. The party does not want any embarrassment if a situation arises when elections are not being held.
The calendar carries pictures of Priyanka Gandhi's public contact programmes and her "struggles", Kumar said.
The pictures included in the calendar show her walking with tribal women in Sonbhadra district after the clash in Umbha village, saving party workers during baton charge by the police on the way to Hathras to meet the family of the rape-murder case victim, and hugging the victim's mother, he said.
The CWC is also expected to release a strongly worded resolution in favour of the farmers and against the farm laws. The issue of alleged Chinese incursions is also expected to be taken up. The issue of national security that came up post the purported chats of Arnab Goswami may find a mention.
