Sonia, Mulayam missing from UP politicking

Virendra Singh Rawat

The top leaders of both Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress viz. Mulayam Singh Yadav and Sonia Gandhi are completely missing form the Uttar Pradesh poll campaign trail.

Both Mulayam and Sonia are reckoned as trail blazers so far as campaigning and drumming up support for their party candidates is concerned. In all the previous elections, they had been at the forefront of canvassing and most visible in all the party banners and publicity materials.

Besides, they would be most sought after star campaigners for their parties.

In their absence, the immediate second most senior leader in their respective parties viz. Akhilesh Yadav (SP) and Rahul Gandhi have taken up the cudgels on behalf of their outfits and slugging it out in the campaign trail.

This is not only an indication of the scheme of things to come in near future, it also reaffirms the passing on the baton to the new leadership in their parties.
