Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, a day after declaring Priyanka Gandhi and Jyotiraditya Scindia as party general secretaries in charge of eastern and western Uttar Pradesh respectively, clarified that their main target was “Mission 2022” – to form the next government in the state.

Addressing a public meeting in his Lok Sabha constituency, Amethi, on Thursday, he said, “I gave them one target, to form a Congress government in the state next elections … We are here to defeat, obliterate the Bharatiya Janata Party.”

Stating that he may not be a regular visitor to Amethi and Rae Bareli during the Lok Sabha election because of his “responsibilities” across the country, Rahul said that wherever he is, he will be working on behalf of the people of the two constituencies. Telling the gathering that he has a “parivarik rishta” (family relation) with them, he said, “I have told Priyanka that she has to come and visit you as soon as she becomes general secretary.”
