“We are celebrating Rahul Gandhi’s birthday as ‘Harmony Day’ and also arranging special parties for Dalits because it is only he who truly believes in unity and harmony and works for the upliftment of Dalits in UP,” a Congress activist said. It is believed that the Dalit gatherings are Rahul's plans to make a comeback in the state and the groundwork has already begun for it. The biggest trump card to drive this plan is the youth card, which worked wonders during the Lok Sabha elections. Congress is also on a membership drive. In an internal note, Rahul has told his team to get ready for the big fight and return to power in the state in 2011. “The way he has done it this time is great. I am very confident that he will do it for the Assembly elections too,” MP from Unnao, Annu Tandon told CNN-IBN. Ready to take on BSP, Rahul has urged his party leaders to concentrate on Dalits, SCs and STs who were once with the Congress but have now moved to the Mayawati’s party. (Reporting by Sreya Basu) |
