Youths beckon Rahul to lead

Youths associated with Congress in the State of UP seem to have only one demand at the moment. They, in unison, are pitching for Rahul Gandhi to take complete control of affairs in the State prior to elections.
It is believed that Rahul Gandhi spearheading the campaign will give great boost to moral of the Congress workers in the State and further consolidate the vote bank by roping in voters at the periphery and also from upper caste, scheduled castes and the minorities, thus leading to greater vote-share and more seats for Congress in this crucial election.
Hi Time assessed the mood of certain senior Congress leaders in this regard. Most of them, barring a few, were confident that Rahul’s entry as head of the Party in the State will go a long way in enhancing Congress’s prospects in the elections. However, a few leaders who opposed this cited that time was not right for Rahul’s entry and Congress should keep this card close till the time of Lok Sabha elections.
Amethi and Rai Bareilly too are jubilant at the prospects of Rahul’s portrayal as head of the party in the State. Mashan Miyan of Nasirabad whom Hi Time spoke to said that Rahul’s entry at helm of affairs will usher in the period of rejuvenation for the party at a faster pace than expected. The entire Uttar Pradesh needs development similar to what has taken place in these two districts and Rahul’s leadership will ensure that the same will happen. Judging by Rahul’s nature, it is certain that he will leave no stone unturned to carry forth the commitments.
Soniaji, the Congressmen are looking at you to release the biggest and most capable weapon in your arsenal not only for the development of party in the State but also for the development of the State of Uttar Pradesh on the whole.
