Azad urges Congress workers to go all-out for 2017 UP polls

Newly-appointed Congress in-charge of Uttar Pradesh Ghulam Nabi Azad today exhorted party leaders and workers to go "all-out" in the run-up to the 2017 Assembly elections in the state.
Addressing party workers and leaders at the UPCC headquarters, the former Union Minister urged them for all-out preparations as "very little time" is left for the elections, vice chairman of the communincations department of UPCC Maroof Khan said.
Azad also asked those eyeing party candidature in the polls to work "full time" among the people and stay in constant touch with them, Khan added.
Azad said his first priority is to ensure that the party's ground-level workers get acceptance among the people as also to ensure representation to all in the elections by striking a "caste balance".

The senior Congress leader told workers that the upcoming elections will be "most vital" for the party as it will contest the polls to form the government, Khan said.
Besides the party's office-bearers, in-charges of various departments, cells and frontal organisations, Azad also met the office-bearers of Lucknow division and discussed the prevailing political scenario in the state with them.
He will meet the office-bearers of the western districts in New Delhi tomorrow, Khan added.
