Cong, RLD young leaders embark on poll campaign
LUCKNOW: Young turks of Rashtriya Lok Dal and Congress will kick start the election campaign in the poll-bound Uttar Pradesh from Monday. While, Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka would hit streets of Bundelkhand and Rae Bareli respectively, Ajit Singh's son and party general secretary Jayant Chaudhary will storm into at least three districts of west UP.
Jayant is scheduled to visit Muzaffarnagar, Agra and Aligarh on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday respectively. The three districts together have 23 assembly constituencies, out of which RLD managed to win three assembly seats, with maximum of two in Muzzaffarnagar (Morna and Thana Bhawan). The 33-year-old RLD MP from Mathura will address a public meeting in Gudd Ki Mandi in Muzzafarnagar on Monday.
Chaudhary junior will then move to Kheragarh, an assembly constituency in Agra on Tuesday. It was a complete rout for RLD last assembly elections here with BSP winning six out of the nine assembly constituencies. This time, RLD state president, Baba Hardev Singh, is contesting from Agra's Etmadpur assembly constituency which was won by BSP candidate Narayan Singh last assembly polls.
The RLD general secretary will finally address a public meeting in Iglas constituency in Aligarh on Thursday. Iglas constituency is RLD stronghold. Its candidate Bimlesh Singh won the seat for the party in 2007 assembly elections. Jayant is scheduled to visit four villages around the constituency - Mai, Thosigad, Rajawal and Talesara.
Assembly constituencies in the three district hold significance for the party as it tries to snatch seats not only from BSP, but also from BJP which managed to win five seats from these three districts alone.
At the same time, Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi will hit the turf of poverty stricken Lalitpur district in Bundelkhand before he moves through the region and takes on Poorvanchal. Bundelkhand has been crucial for the Congress as it provides ample ground to Rahul Gandhi to launch a scathing attack on the ruling BSP, which reigns power in the region with 13 MLAs and two powerful MLCs. The Congress general secretary has been quite vocal as to how funds meant under MNREGS and the Bundelkhand package were swindled under the Mayawati government depriving the needy of their due share.
Meanwhile, Rahul's sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadhera will try to jack up support for the Congress in seven assembly constituencies of Rae Bareli. Congress had a close contest with Samajwadi Party in the assembly segments of the districts in the last assembly elections. Even though Congress managed to win five seats, SP trailed closely behind winning one seat and falling second in four other assembly constituencies. While SP's Mayankeshwar Sharan Singh triumphed at Tiloi, independent candidate and senior leader of Peace Party Akhilesh Kumar Singh won from Rae Bareli.
