Mission UP: Priyanka Gandhi holds meeting with Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi : Congress General Secretary for Uttar Pradesh East Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday held a meeting with Congress President Rahul Gandhi at his residence in New Delhi.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Congress leaders discussed strategy for Uttar Pradesh East to claim power in the region in upcoming general elections.

Congress General Secretary UP West Jyotiraditya Scindia was also present at the meeting. The meeting lasted for over two hours.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was announced General Secretary UP East a couple of weeks ago. 43 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats come under her.

This time it's going to be a tough challenge for Priyanka as Congress had 22 Members of Parliament (MPs) with four seats in Eastern Uttar Pradesh in 2009. The situation became worst for the party after the 2017 state assembly elections, wherein, the party secured only two seats in the eastern region.

According to a news report, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi will hold another meeting at the latter's residence on Tuesday.
