'Should I tell you everything now?' Priyanka Gandhi on being CM face in UP polls
On the question of contesting the election in Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi said, "We will see".
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday dodged questions on contesting election from Uttar Pradesh or on being the CM face in the state. On the question of contesting the election, she said, "We will see", PTI reported. On whether she would be the party's CM face for the UP polls, Priyanka said, "Should I tell you everything now?"
The Congress leader is on a two-day visit in the poll-bound state. On Saturday, she went to Lakhimpuri Kheri to meet two Samajwadi Party women workers who were allegedly attacked by BJP leaders during the recent block panchayat chief elections.
"They were beaten up while they had gone to file nominations and disrobed. You can imagine what was going on in their mind. Along with Anita, his 19-year-old son was also there," Priyanka said.
"I want to tell (them) that each and every woman of India stands with them. I told them not to feel afraid, and have confidence," she said.
On the party's strategy for the upcoming elections, Priyanka said, "In the past a year and a half, our party has raised the strongest voice. We have hit the roads, our party workers have courted arrests. Rest of the parties have not spoken so much nor they came out (on streets) as compared to us, and we will continue with this."
