Priyanka Gandhi has already taken command of the campai🔥gn and will remain camped in Rae Bareli and Amethi from Monday till the end of polls.
Priyanka Gandhi will be hol♓ding hundreds of 'nukkad sabhas', meetings and door-to-door campaign programmes, the so𝄹urces said.
"The centre will be Rae Bareli where she will be stationed at a guest house. From booth management to outreach, everything would be handled by her," the s🎀ource said.
Already outreach has started with freedom fighters' families and those who have had familial ties with the Gandhi family for decades,🦂 the sources said.
She will also monitor the digital and social media campaign in the two con♌stituencies, they said.
Campaign at various levels of the organisation will be done to reach out to everyone in the two constituencies, they saiꩲd.
Priyanka Gandhi will also take care of the planning and scheduling of cam🦩paign by top leaders such as Congre𝄹ss chief Mallikarjun Kharge, former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel and former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot.
She will cover about 250-300 v🙈illages and give equal time to both constituencies, the sources said♏.
Strong foundations that Feroze Gandhi laid in Rae Bareli were lateᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚr nurtured and strengthened by his wife and former prime minister Indira Gandhi, who won the seat in 1967, 1971 and ꦉ1980, followed by friends and members of the Gandhi family.
In Amethi, a non-Gandhi family member is in the fray after 25 yea🌳rs to take on incumbent BJP MP Smriti Irani.
Irani had defeated Rahul Gandhi by more than 55,000 votes in 2019 in Amethi, while in Rae Bareli Sonia Gandhi defeated BJ🍨P's Dinesh Pratap Singh by more than 💝1,67,000 votes.
Ra🐻hul Gandhi will take on Singh, who has been fielded again by the BJ♋P.
Sharma was the key person who had looked after the two prestigious constꦯituencies and been a representative of the Gandhis in the two key seats.
The Amethi and Rae Bareli seats will go to polls on May 20 in ꧒the fifth round of the seven-phase general election.
