UP politics has become religion- and caste-based: Priyanka

February 03, 2012 13:30

Hitting the campaign trail in Uttar Pradesh, Congress's star campaigner Priyanka Gandhi today asked the electorate to realise the strength of their vote and exercise their franchise for a change in the state where "politics over the last 22 years" has become totally "religion- and caste-based".

"Election is the time when leaders come for electioneering of all kinds...I also come in your midst but who has the wisdom to recognise the reality of their candidates and the political parties...you...and take this into account when you go out to vote," Priyanka said at a public meeting in Balbhadrapur area of her brother Rahul Gandhi's parliamentary constituency Amethi.
