It's 'Ghar Waapsi' season in UP Cong

It is now 'Ghar Vapsi' time in the Uttar Pradesh Congress unit. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, party general secretary, during her recent three-day visit to Lucknow, reportedly directed UPCC president Ajay Kumar Lallu to ensure the return of those party workers, especially veterans, who had been shoved out of the party.

Immediately after her return to Delhi, Lallu withdrew the expulsion of three senior leaders -Nek Chand Pandey, Bhudhar Narain Mishra and Rajendra Singh Solanki - and welcomed them back into the party's state headquarters with bouquets and smiles on Tuesday. AICC secretaries Dhiraj Gurjar and Rohit Chaudhary said that these leaders will play an important role in strengthening the Congress in future," said UPCC spokesman Ashok Singh in a press statement.

These three veterans were a part of the group of ten senior leaders who had been expelled from the party in November 2019 after they reportedly held a meeting on Nehru Jayanti which was termed as an anti-party activity.
