After initiating a shake-up and projecting a CM face for the first time in UP, the Congress brass has planned to launch the newly-appointed team of leaders on coming Sunday.
The party will hold a roadshow from the airport to the State party headquarters in Mall Avenue and all leaders given different responsibilities would be atop a single vehicle as if to showcase ‘solidarity’ for one another.
“Congress had planned a grand roadshow on Sunday to welcome the new State president Raj Babbar, CM candidate Sheila Dikshit, campaign committee chief Sanjay Singh, co-ordination committee chief Pramod Tewari and other leaders who have been given resposnbiilities,” confirmed
chairman of UPCC media cell Satyadeo Tripathi.
Talking to the media on Friday, Tripathi said that the roadshow would pass through VVIP road and reach Mall Avenue office in the evening where the leaders would address the media.
“All along the route, more than 100 gates would be erected besides hoardings and cutouts of leaders will be put up. Several spots have been identified to welcome the leaders,” he said.
Congress had on Thursday announced 78-year-old Dikshit, who has been the CM of Delhi for 15 years, as its Chief Ministerial candidate for the upcoming Assembly polls.
