Ahead of the General Elections, the first poster out by the Gorakhpur’s Congress unit states that they want Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to be made the Congress candidate from Gorakhpur for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
On Sunday, the first poster by Gorakhpur’s Congress party workers raised a demand for fielding Priyanka Gandhi from here and choosing her as the candidate for LS elections. The poster carries the slogan ‘Gorakhpur ki yahi pukar, Priyanka Gandhi Sansad is baar’.
In the second poster by the Gorakhpur Congress division, Priyanka Gandhi is depicted as Queen of Jhansi, riding a white horse. A bust shot of her face has been cropped and pasted in place of Maharani Laxmi Bai’s headshot. The poster carries slogans like “Chaaro taraf baj raha danka, Bahan Priyanka – Bahan Priyanka and “Desh ki ab yahi pukar, Congress aae abki baar.”
The district unit of the party raised the demand in two posters that came up in the stronghold of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who represented Gorakhpur between 1998 and 2017 in the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th Lok Sabha.
The poster also mentions the defeat of the BJP candidate from Gorakhpur seat in the 2017 bypoll, held after it was vacated by Adityanath to become the UP chief minister.
“We are highly motivated and excited as Priyanka Gandhi has been made in-charge of the eastern UP. We are asking the party to make her the candidate for Lok Sabha elections from Gorakhpur this time.”
Anwar Hussain, General Secretary of the Congress’ district unit told the reporters
