LUCKNOW: After describing Lok Sabha elections as ‘nothing less than independence movement’, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would formally kick off her party’s campaign in her karmabhoomi, Uttar Pradesh , when she arrives in Lucknow on Sunday.“She will finalise the poll campaign,” UPCC president Raj Babbar told reporters on Thursday after holding backto-back review meetings.There is a buzz Priyanka may launch Lok Sabha campaign from Allahabad — birthplace of her great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru – and visit Anand Bhavan. “Those who are together should discuss, finalise policies and decide on candidates. Politicians have no decision making power),” the UP Congress president said.Babbar also dropped a subtle hint that Congress backed the Bhim Army chief in response to a query on whether Chandrashekhar Ravan would contest election from Varanasi seat. None of this is happening and I think this is enough to understand the situation,” said Babbar.“Woh samajhte hain ki akele mein bahut takat hai, toh main yeh bata dena chahta hoon ki takat janata mein hai aur sarkaarein janata ke faislon se banti hai na ke netaon ke faisle se (They think they are all powerful, but in a democracy, power lies in the hands of people. Sources said she may take the river route to Mirzapur and then touch Varanasi.“She will reach out to those living on Ganga banks and facing hardships for past 30 years,” Babbar said.Babbar added that officebearers of the party’s state unit discussed details of her programme, which will be declared on Friday after clearance from the party brass.Babbar ruled out any possibility of an alliance with the SP-BSP combine in UP.
