Dikshit thanked the Congress leadership for entrusting her with such a “big responsibility”, adding she would like to have Priyanka Gandhi Vadra campaign with her across the state.
The party departed from its tradition of not projecting a CM candidate before elections
Out of power in Uttar Pradesh for nearly three decades, the Congress Thursday announced it was serious about the assembly elections in the state next year and declared three-time Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit as its chief ministerial face. By doing so, the party departed from its tradition of not projecting a CM candidate before elections.
The party also announced coordination and campaign committees for Uttar Pradesh which will be headed by Rajya Sabha MPs Sanjay Sinh and Pramod Tiwari respectively.
Dikshit thanked the Congress leadership for entrusting her with such a “big responsibility”, adding she would like to have Priyanka Gandhi Vadra campaign with her across the state.
“She (Priyanka) is a very popular leader. My plea would be that she campaign across the state,” Dikshit said. She said it would be a “major challenge” and the Congress will take on the BJP, ruling Samajwadi Party and BSP.
