‘Anybody becoming AICC Gen Secy won’t impact polls’

New Delhi: In a veiled attack on the Congress party over Priyanka Gandhi’s appointment as party’s General Secretary in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Union Minister of State for Communications Manoj Sinha on Thursday said that anybody becoming the “AICC General Secretary or in-charge will not matter in the polls”.

He said that people in Uttar Pradesh have not even taken notice of the development. “If someone is made the General Secretary or in-charge, I think it is not going to make any difference to the elections,” Sinha, who is a Lok Sabha member from Ghazipur in eastern Uttar Pradesh, said.

He ruled out the possibility of Uttar Pradesh government planning any loan waiver for farmers ahead of polls. “We are in principle not for waiving farm loans. We want to help farmers by reducing input cost and giving good price for their produce so that they can make more meaningful contribution to the economy and become self-reliant,” he said. (IANS)
