Priyanka Gandhi began campaigning in Noida
All India Congress Committee General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra began campaigning in Noida today for the party's candidate Pankhuri Pathak.
Speaking in sector 26, she said: "Elections need to be fought on real issues - development, water, how many people are unemployed...
We are telling the youth that we will give employment. I have been working in UP for the past two years. People have been waiting 5 to 6 years for jobs. Nobody is listening to them. A special recruitment commission needs to be made, along with a timetable - a job calendar which will specify dates of exams, results and when positions will be filled."
She added, "Women are not taken seriously in politics now. Women must stand up and must be made safe and able." (ENS)
