JITIN bEING SIDElINED FOR MONA

-

The only important Congress leader contesting the Uttar Pradesh elections is former Union minister Jitin Prasada. But not one senior Congress leader has gone to his Tilhar seat in Shajahanpu­r to canvass for him. His supporters are now demoralise­d. This absence of faces is being seen as an attempt to sabotage him. If Jitin Prasada wins the seat, he will be the Congress Legislativ­e Party leader at the least, or even become Deputy Chief Minister if the SP-Congress alliance comes to power. It is because of this that he is being blocked. It seems Pramod Tiwari is trying to project his daughter Mona at the expense of Jitin Prasada. He wants Mona to become CLP leader. Mona is fighting the elections from Pratapgarh, which Akhilesh Yadav has visited. In her posters too Mona is seen standing with Priyanka Vadra.
