Priyanka Gandhi is everywhere and seems like she’s also always up for a good fight against her opponents - be it the UP police or the BJP Goliath in the state! 

UP Election 2022: Can Priyanka Gandhi's new avatar revive Congress in UP?

Priyanka Gandhi is everywhere and seems like she’s also always up for a good fight against her opponents - be it the UP police or the BJP Goliath in the state. Clearly, we're talking about Priyanka 2.0 - she's street smart, she's not afraid to set foot into the maidan and fight adversaries head to head. 
 
The Congress’s UP campaign is hinging upon the idea of Naari Shakti. From a separate manifesto for women that guarantees them safety and opportunity - to declaring that 40% of all tickets will be reserved for women, one of the most major poll pushes from the Congress this time around is that women must be a part of the political fabric of a country in order for it to develop and grow. Some of the salient promises of the ‘womanifesto’ include: 
- Businesses with more than 50 per cent female workforce to get special incentives, including tax exemptions 
- Mandatory creche facility at all government offices 
- Students of class 12 to be given smartphone, while those pursuing graduation will be given a scooty 
- Free public transport for women 
- Three free gas cylinders in a year to every woman in the state  
- 25 per cent jobs to women in police force and female constables to be posted in all police stations 
 
While the other major players draw crowds of saffron supporters and those in laal topis - the congress’ supporter base this time around seems to be coming from young women participating in the Ladki Hoon Lad Sakti hoon marathons. A slogan that is being taken forward very heavily by the INC - and most definitely by Priyanka Gandhi, who looks amped up to take on any ladai that comes her way. 
 
Priyanka Gandhi is no stranger to the cameras. And by the looks of it not afraid of the formidable UP police either. Which isn’t surprising given that their attempts to foil her plans have not worked out to well in their favour. - They tried stopping her from going to Sonbhadra after 10 people were killed - it failed. Tried to stop her again after the horrific Hathras gangrape and murder - it failed. Custodial deaths in Agra, Lakhimpur Kheri violence, every single time they tried to stop her - it failed.  
 
While some are likening the Congress General Secretary to Indira Gandhi, the ground reality is slightly different. The Grand Old Party is not what it was four decades ago. Congress' sinking fortunes in UP have only gone from bad to worse in polls after polls. Even Priyanka's record is not something to boast about - despite her extensive campaign in Amethi and Raebareli - both slipped out of the Congress's hands in the 2017 elections. And then there was the humiliating loss of the family bastion of Amethi - that Rahul Gandhi lost to BJP's Smriti Irani in 2019. 
 
As per most recent data, women have outnumbered men in getting their names registered on the electoral rolls in UP. There are currently 6.98 crore female voters on UP’s voter list. So on paper it looks like a stellar idea to chart away from the usual politics of caste and religion in the state and venture into the territory of women voters - but the jury is still out on if this will translate into any change in the voters’ mood on the ground. 
 
With just 7 MLAs in the 403-seat Assembly - Congress's journey to victory is definitely going to be much tougher than the recent voyages that Ms.Gandhi has been taking. Will her heavy focus on issues of women and new knack for playing real politics take Congress the distance? Looks like we'll find out!

Former Congress leader Hardik Patel will join the BJP on June 2 in the presence of Gujarat party president C R Paatil, a state party spokesperson said on Tuesday.
After Patidar quota agitation leader Patel recently resigned from the Congress, there were speculations that he may join the ruling BJP. He had praised the BJP's decision-making capacity and style of functioning, while severely criticising the Congress leadership.
"It is confirmed that Hardik Patel will join the BJP on June 2 in the presence of state president C R Paatil," BJP's state spokesperson Yagnesh Dave told PTI.
Patel had joined the Congress in 2019.
Before quitting the Congress earlier this month, Patel wrote a scathing letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi, claiming the Congress "only played the role of a roadblock" over certain key issues in the country and was "merely reduced to opposing everything".

Former Assam Congress president Ripun Bora severed his four-decade-old relationship with the party and joined the Trinamool Congress on Sunday, alleging that several leaders of the grand old party are working in connivance with the BJP in the North-eastern state. The incident occurred around a fortnight after alleged cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha election cost his seat in the Upper House of Parliament. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said it is natural for Bora to resign from the Congress after MLAs of his own party "worked for his defeat" in the Rajya Sabha election held on March 31. The senior leader who was a Congress member since his student days in 1976 joined the TMC in Kolkata in the presence of the party's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. "Delighted to welcome Shri@ripunbora, Former Minister of Panchayat & Rural Development, Minister of Education in Assam, former Rajya Sabha MP & former President of Assam Pradesh Congress committee! He joined us today in the presence of Shri @abhishekaitc," the Trinamool Congress said on Twitter. Abhishek Banerjee also separately welcomed him to the ruling party of West Bengal. He said in a tweet: "Extending a very warm welcome to Shri @ripunbora, a stalwart and skilled politician, who joined the @AITCofficial family today. We are extremely pleased to have you on board and look forward to working together for the well-being of our people!" Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev, who had switched over to the TMC from the Congress in Assam last year, was also present when he joined the new party. In his resignation letter to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Bora alleged that several leaders of the party were working in connivance with the BJP in the state, particularly with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. "I am very pained to inform you that it is an open secret in Assam that instead of fighting against BJP, a section of senior most leaders of Assam PCC (Pradesh Congress Committee) have been maintaining secret understanding with BJP govt mainly with the Chief Minister," Bora said in his resignation letter. Bora claimed that he, after assuming charge as APCC chief in 2016, was able to bring the Congress to a position where people expected it to form the state government in 2021 state polls. However, due to infighting, "people lost faith on us", he said. The former state minister alleged that some of the Congress party leaders "played role in such a manner which paved the way for the BJP to win both the Rajya Sabha seats" from Assam recently. The combined strength of the opposition parties in the Assam Assembly was 44 but Bora had polled only 35 votes in trhe election. Three candidates, two from the BJP-led ruling alliance and one from the Congress as the joint opposition nominee, were in the fray for two seats. The BJP’s Pabitra Margherita contested for the first seat while its alliance partner UPPL’s Rwngra Narzary and Bora, a sitting MP, had fought for the second. Margherita’s victory was assured while the chief minister had urged all Congress MLAs to vote for the candidate of the ruling alliance for the second seat. Margherita and Narzary had emerged winners bagging 46 and 44 votes respectively. All the 126 MLAs of the Assam Legislative assembly had cast their votes and one vote was found invalid. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that it is natural for Bora to resign from the Congress after MLAs of his own party "worked for his defeat" in last month’s Rajya Sabha election. When reporters sought his reaction to Bora quitting the Congress, Sarma said, “I have nothing much to say on it. But after the Congress’ press conference two days before the Rajya Sabha polls and how the Congress’ Delhi agents worked for his defeat, one thing was clear: his resignation is not a big thing. It is natural." Sarma was apparently referring to a press meet addressed by state Congress president Bhupen Bora, during which he alleged that the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), an opposition party, had "sold five of its MLAs" to the BJP for the Rajya Sabha election. “Congress MLAs worked towards the defeat of Bora, that is true,” the chief minister said. Bora joined the TMC a day after the TMC won two by-elections in West Bengal and leaders of 13 non-BJP parties expressed deep concern over the recent incidents of hate speech and communal violence in the country, and urged people to maintain peace and harmony.
