Priyanka to have bases in Lucknow, Prayagraj too for UP battle fillip

New Delhi, Dec 4 : With Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections still more than a year away, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is set to get involved more in state party unit affairs by setting up bases in state capital Lucknow and Prayagraj, party sources have said.
The sources said that the process in this regard has already been kick-started in Lucknow and her time table for more involvement in the organisational and political matters in the state are getting chalked out.
In Prayagraj, a possible location of her residence has been identified and work in this regard will start soon.
The sources said that Priyanka will divide her time between Delhi and these two places to reach out to party leaders and supporters in various divisions of Uttar Pradesh.
From Delhi, she can easily cover Saharanpur, Agra, Meerut, Moradabad and Aligarh divisions that are within a 250-km radius from the national capital.
From Lucknow, she can handle Kanpur, Faizabad, Basti, Gorakhpur, and Devipatan divisions, asking Congress workers and supporters to meet her in the state capital so that they don’t have to travel much to meet her.
