Priyanka Gandhi to start 'Pratigya Yatra' from UP's Barabanki

Congress general secretary and Uttar Pradesh in-charge Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is slated to flag off three 'Pratigya Yatras' from Barabanki on Saturday to spread awareness about various resolutions adopted by the party ahead of the 2022 assembly elections.

On the occasion, she will elaborate on the seven resolutions made to the people of UP apart from the election manifesto, former MP and party in-charge of Chhattisgarh P L Punia told PTI on Friday.

The three yatras going in different routes from Barabanki to Bundelkhand, Saharanpur to Mathura and Varanasi to Rae Bareli will be taken out from October 23 to November 1, Punia said.

In its first resolution, Congress had promised 40 per cent of ticket distribution to women in the 2022 elections while the remaining six pledges are expected to be announced at the time of launching the 'Pratigya Yatra' in Barabanki.

The decision to go ahead with these yatras was taken at a meeting headed by Vadra last month.
