Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is set for a grand launch in Uttar Pradesh on February 11 when Rahul Gandhi and Jyotiraditya Scindia will accompany her on a road show in Lucknow. The party is mobilising a huge crowd to welcome Priyanka, who will stay put in Lucknow and interact with office-bearers and leaders over four days. Sources said Priyanka has promised to work hard on the ground and sought support of senior leaders as she was inexperienced in politics. At a meeting of Congress general secretaries on Thursday, she also stressed the need for projecting an image of the party that cuts through barriers of caste and religion. After the meeting, Rahul responded to the Prime Minister’s barb in the Lok Sabha that only corrupt people were scared of him.
