After Assam model, now focus on UP! Congress’s eyes are on Priyanka Gandhi, know what is the plan

General Secretary of National Congress Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is a prominent leader of the party and is known for her active politics in Uttar Pradesh. She has always established herself as a symbol of women empowerment and political struggle. Her famous slogan ‘I am a girl, I can fight’ is a reflection of her self-confidence and leadership abilities. He gave this slogan in the context of Unnao rape case. Now the possibilities of his return in the political fight of 2027 are under discussion. Party leaders say that if this happens then the state will be good in Congress.

What is in the statement of Congress?

The discussion of Priyanka Gandhi’s return to UP Congress has filled the party workers with enthusiasm. The discussion on this matter started when an official statement was issued by UP Congress. This statement of Congress is clearly indicating that Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is once again going to play a big role in the active politics of Uttar Pradesh. Congress has decided to hold a simultaneous press conference in the entire state on Priyanka Gandhi’s birthday on January 12, 2026.

In the statement issued by UP Congress, it has been said that the responsibility has been handed over to senior Congress leaders of the district. The party is linking this with its ‘Agenda-100 Days’ campaign. Political experts say that this step is not a simple formality, but a clear indication of preparations for the 2027 assembly elections. Since then, there is discussion that Priyanka Gandhi may once again get the role of super in-charge of Congress in the upcoming assembly elections.

What will happen if you handle the responsibility?

A senior leader of UP Congress, on the condition of anonymity, said that if Priyanka takes charge of the state elections again, it is certain that there will not be much dispute in seat sharing with SP. During the Lok Sabha elections, when there was trouble on some seats, it was Priyanka who took command from the Congress side. In the Lok Sabha elections 2024, talks were stuck between Congress and SP on some seats, due to which the final decision on the form of alliance could not be taken. After which Priyanka herself took the initiative in this matter and after talking to Rahul, discussed Akhilesh Yadav and the matter was decided on seat sharing. Similarly, when SP Chief was contesting from Karhal seat in the 2022 assembly elections, Congress under the leadership of Priyanka did not field a candidate from this seat.

The Congress leader said that only time will tell whether she will handle the responsibility of UP state or not. At present, the meetings being held by the Congress high command on UP in the last few days have indicated that the party will try to maintain the sequence of political gains made in the Lok Sabha elections through Panchayat elections in 2026 and Assembly elections in 2027.

Priyanka had given the slogan ‘I am a girl, I can fight’

Let us mention here that Priyanka Gandhi had launched the concept of ‘I am a girl, I can fight’ in the assembly elections. His slogan became quite popular, but Congress won less seats than in the 2016 elections. In the 2022 elections, Congress was successful in winning only two seats in UP.

Then Priyanka Gandhi had said, ‘I am a girl, I can fight’, the slogan was made even before the elections. The idea behind this started when I went to the Unnao rape victim’s house, from there the idea of ​​this slogan came. I went to the Unnao rape victim’s house, talked to her family. When I met his family, my perspective changed. There was no such atrocity which was not done to her (gang rape victim) family.
