Lucknow, Dec 29 (TIWN) The dawn of 2022 in Uttar Pradesh, apart from witnessing a fiercely fought battle in the Assembly elections, will also decide the political fate of five women politicians.

These women, directly or indirectly, are playing a key role in the Assembly elections for their respective parties, and the poll outcome will prove crucial for them.  Priyanka Gandhi  To begin with, all eyes are fixed on Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is working overtime to revie the near-defunct Congress in Uttar Pradesh.  Priyanka created a buzz when she announced 40 per cent reservation for women in the upcoming Assembly elections. Her attempts to create a women vote bank by blurring the lines of casteism and communalism have unnerved other political parties, and her slogan 'Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon' has started echoing in the political circles.  Priyanka's efforts to put the Congress on the political centre stage have started showing results, which is evident by the increasing presence of women and girls at party events.
