The uproar over the Lakhimpur incident in Uttar Pradesh is not taking its name to stop. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi’s activism on Lakhimpur incident has put Congress on the front foot. Because in comparison to other opposition parties, the Congress seems to be the most active in this matter. To give power to Priyanka, her brother and former Congress President Rahul Gandhi also jumped into the struggle from Delhi. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi also took the lead as warlords. It is believed that this activism of Priyanka can increase the troubles of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav in 2022. As soon as the Lakhimpur Kheri violence broke out, Priyanka reached Lucknow directly from Delhi and left for Lakhimpur Kheri. But in Sitapur, the police stopped him. Congress got furious with the arrest of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Congress took the route from Delhi via Sitapur-Lakhimpur Kheri. Congress workers started a street fight and the pictures that came out of meeting the victims gave rise to the question of Congress being the biggest opposition party in UP.
Political turmoil…Priyanka’s plan dominated
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi’s activism on the Lakhimpur incident put the Congress on the front foot and pushed the regional parties back somewhere. Priyanka Gandhi is more active than Akhilesh Yadav, the chief of Uttar Pradesh’s main opposition party Samajwadi Party. By the way, Priyanka Gandhi dominated this matter more than the other parties of the opposition from the beginning. Priyanka Gandhi had left for Lakhimpur Kheri in the night itself. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav was waiting for the morning. RLD President Jayant Chaudhary also became active in the morning. In the case of arrest also Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was ahead. All the opposition leaders were released after a few hours. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was under house arrest in Sitapur for 72 hours. The workers of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav also created a lot of ruckus. Where Akhilesh was staging a dharna, the SPs had torched the police car. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra kept the reins on her workers.
The biggest player in the game of politics?
Congressmen are claiming that Priyanka Gandhi has put Congress in front of BJP as the main opposition party. However, the Samajwadi Party is denying this claim outright and the BJP is taking a jibe at the opposition. Now the question is, when all the leaders of the opposition were released within a few hours, then why Priyanka was not released. Is it that BJP is deliberately giving importance to Priyanka to reduce Akhilesh’s stature? Because BJP knows very well that Congress in UP is not in a position to harm BJP. But it can definitely harm Akhilesh. Which can prove beneficial for BJP. Because it is the Samajwadi Party in UP at the moment which can create trouble for the BJP. Well, only the political players know the game of politics.
