Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday expressed her gratitude to party workers and voters for the big win in Uttar Pradesh.
Taking to X, Priyanka posted, “My salute to all my colleagues of UP Congress. I saw you working hard in the sun and dust, you did not bow down, you did not stop, you showed courage to fight in the toughest of times. You were tortured, false cases were filed against you, you were put in jail, you were repeatedly put under house arrest but you did not get scared. Many leaders left in fear, you stood firm.”
She said, “I am proud of you and the people of UP, who understood the depth and truth of this country and gave a strong message to the whole of India to save our Constitution. You have re-established an old ideal in today’s politics that the issues of the people are paramount, the price of ignoring them is heavy. The election is of the people, the people fight, the people win.”
It may be noted that in UP, Congress-led INDI alliance has given a tough fight to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the just concluded Lok Sabha election. Congress, which was reduced to just one seat in the 2019 election, has won six seats in this election, while its ally Samajwadi Party (SP) has managed to capture 37 seats.
