New Delhi : With aim to surpass BJP in UP Assembly polls, Congress is upbeat with communal propaganda of the extreme kind. Lacking edge over other parties, the gameplan is to appease communal passions with Priyanka Gandhi in the lead. The flagship brag is that Congress provided Uttar Pradesh with maximum number of brahmin chief ministers.
The appeasement strategy now on display was planned by the party months before. “Love expressed by parties including BJP for the brahmin community is fake. If there be some honesty about it, they should confront the upcoming polls upholding as their chief ministerial candidate a chief minister candidate from that community,” - so reads the press release given out by Congress media convener Lalan Kumar. The press note also brags that Congress has given UP six brahmin chief ministers so far.
Congress’s style for battling polls is based on its awareness that much of the backward community votes would be bagged by SP and BSP. Aware that Priyanka-led campaign will fail to convert to votes, Congress pins its campaign on its record as highest brahmin CM providers for the state, says Malayala Manorama in one of its articles.
