Lucknow: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi exhorted the party workers on Saturday not to be "afraid" and said they should work round the clock to win the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls next year. "If the organisation is seen today, it is because of you. If the Congress has come into discussions, it is because of you," Priyanka Gandhi, who has been holding meetings with the partymen since her arrival here on Friday, told Congress workers at the party headquarters here. The party workers should take pride that the organisation has its presence in all the panchayats of Uttar Pradesh and training programmes are being held in all districts, after which gram panchayat-level committees will be set up, she said.
"I request you all that from today till the election, set the target of working 24 hours, do not stop or get afraid. You have to march ahead with strength and win the election," the Congress general secretary said. She asked the party workers to stay connected with the issues of people, their struggles and emotions. "If you stay connected with these issues, include new people in the organisation and take the senior leaders along, only then can we fight this battle together," the Congress leader said. She also told the party workers to be disciplined. "You have to win the election but do not forget that discipline is also essential for fighting," she said.
