Team Priyanka's Stamp, Father's History & Internal Rebellion: No Smooth Sailing for Jitin Prasada

News 18  

In March 2019, a month before the Lok Sabha polls, Congress general secretary in charge for Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi, discussed the possibility of fielding a popular Brahmin face as a party candidate against BJP stalwart Rajnath Singh in Lucknow. While the leadership changes in the UP Congress, under new president Ajay Kumar Lallu, and strong intervention at the strategy level by Team Priyanka led by former JNU student union president Sandeep Singh has disturbed equations of many old hands within the state Congress, none except Jitin Prasada and Raj Babbar chose to sign on the letter addressed to the Congress president seeking organisational changes. A senior leader close to Prasada said “After Sonia Gandhi made it clear that the letter doesn’t mean any ill intentions and it’s part of our internal democracy, protests and criticism of top leaders is unfortunate.” Jitin Prasada might choose not to respond now, but some in the CWC reportedly did not refrain from aiming their barbs at the young Congress leaders. The fact that the entire UP Congress passed a resolution endorsing Sonia and Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, a day before the CWC meeting, has left Jitin Prasada more isolated in the party’s state politics, which is now entirely being redefined by Priyanka Gandhi.
