As India’s largest and politically most crucial state Uttar Pradesh (UP) gears up for its 2012 assembly elections, a new leader in the making is buckling up to take the centre-stage in Indian politics.
Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi kick started his party’s election campaign earlier this month from Phulpur town. Amid posters and banners depicting his large pictures, the Amethi MP slammed the ruling Mayawati government for ‘misgovernance, corruption and moving the state backwards’. He said, “a hope will arise for the UP only if they vote for a change”.
Apparently, the 41-year-old’s decision to launch the campaign from Phulpur is quite interesting and holds vital significance: it was from this very constituency that his great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru was elected to the parliament in the first Lok Sabha elections.
