  • Though Congress released the unofficial schedule of Priyanka's visit nearly three days ago, the official announcement was delayed due to "detailing issues".

    According to reports, few Congress leaders recced the route on Saturday to figure out the modalities. Reportedly, the party didn't receive permission for the ride till late hours on Saturday.

    Priyanka is expected to reach Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) by Sunday evening.

    Priyanka will speak to locals, visit temples and dargahs

    Priyanka will speak to locals, visit temples and dargahs
  • This will be Priyanka's second visit to the politically-volatile state after she was given the top post by Congress President Rahul Gandhi weeks ago.

    Reportedly, Priyanka will interact with significant communities during her boat ride.

    The steamer is also expected to make several stops at temples and dargahs. Her trip is scheduled to end on March 20, a day before Holi.

  • Information

    Priyanka will also expose PM Modi's "Namami Gange" scheme

  • Apart from this, Congress also hopes to "expose" BJP's ambitious Namami Gange scheme through this trip. During her interaction with locals, Priyanka is expected to "bust" the Centre's claims of having cleaned the holy river. Her itinerary also includes a 'Holi Milan' program in Varanasi.

  • Letter

    In letter, Priyanka said she wants to change UP's politics

    In letter, Priyanka said she wants to change UP's politics
  • Priyanka took potshots at the state and Centre in her letter, which was addressed to UP citizens. She said the state has come to a standstill due to which women, youth, laborers, and farmers were facing numerous problems.

    She added she would work as a Congress soldier to change the "politics in the state".

    For this change, Priyanka underlined, speaking to people was necessary.

  • Quote

    Have a deep connection with UP: Priyanka

  • "I have a deep connection with UP which is why I am coming to you to understand your concerns. I will get in touch with you via various routes, like water, trains, and roads," wrote Priyanka in the letter.

  • Twitter Post

    Priyanka reminded about "Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb"

  • #दिल्ली : @priyankagandhi ने पत्र लिखकर यूपी की जनता से संवाद करने के लिए उनके द्वार पहुंचने की बात कही, युवा महिला मजदूर और किसानों की बातों को राजनैतिक गणित में दबा देने का लगाया आरोप, गंगा को सच्चाई और समानता का प्रतीक बताकर गंगा का सहारा लेकर लोगों से जुड़ने की बात कही. pic.twitter.com/wMJgkK2lYu

  • BJP's stand

    Meanwhile, BJP leader pointed out Priyanka didn't visit Kumbh

    Meanwhile, BJP leader pointed out Priyanka didn't visit Kumbh
  • As expected BJP downplayed Priyanka's boat ride. Party spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said she was able to travel via Ganga due to the "untiring efforts" of the government to clean the river.

    Tripathi added that Priyanka was "absent" from UP for a month.

    "She and her brother Rahul Gandhi never visited Sangam during the Kumbh but she is coming now," Tripathi pointed out.

    Priyanka isn't putting up a good fight in UP

    Priyanka isn't putting up a good fight in UP
  • Priyanka, who was widely seen as Congress' trump card, has hardly done anything to revive the party in UP. While her entry into active politics made cadres enthusiastic, the excitement has slowly and steadily died down.

    In the last general elections, Congress managed to retain only its bastions- Raebareli and Amethi.

    Considering Priyanka's laid-back approach, the prospects of Congress definitely don't look bright.
