Lucknow: After Priyanka Gandhi promised to do
anything to help brother Rahul in electioneering, Congress
on Friday released a list of 40 star campaigners, including her
name, for the first phase of polling in 55 Assembly seats in
Uttar Pradesh on February 8.
Besides Priyanka, the list carries the names of Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and
Rahul, besides Chief Ministers of Delhi, Rajasthan and
Haryana.
Priyanka had indicated in Rae Bareli on January 17 that
she was open to the idea of campaigning for Congress outside
Amethi and Rae Bareli constituencies in the UP Assembly
elections, saying she would do anything to help her brother
Rahul.
The detailed programme of these leaders is being chalked
out, party spokesman Virendra Madan said.
