New Delhi: Three months after the drubbing in the Lok Sabha elections, Congress general secretary for Uttar Pradesh East Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is likely to take over full responsibility of the party in the state.
For the past five days, Priyanka has been holding marathon meetings with Congress leaders from the state.
According to reports, the party is looking to do a revamp of the organisation in the state. The party has decided to announce new chief of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC), who will replace Raj Babbar.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, Congress spokesperson Akhilesh Pratap Singh said, "Priyanka is not merely the leader of half of Uttar Pradesh, she belongs to the entire nation as a whole."
Congress spokesperson Akhilesh Pratap Singh pins hopes on Priyanka for the revival of Congress Party in UP.
"Everybody knows about her ability, this itself is sufficient to say that she is the true in-charge of Uttar Pradesh. She has closely observed the state and is working accordingly. People will soon see the results and realise that the party cares about people's issues," he added.
Ahead of 2019 General elections, Priyanka was appointed Congress in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh while the responsibility of western part of the state was given to Jyotiraditya Scindia.
