Politics over the farmers' issues may set new political equations in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh. AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's aggressive strategy on the farmers' issues is being seen as part of this.

Needless to say, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's recent aggressive posturing on the issues concerning the farming community has rekindled hopes among the Congress leaders and workers. The way Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is taking things forward flamboyantly is indicative of the fact that the Congress is pinning hopes on backward communities and farmers. At the same time, Congress is eyeing women voters by announcing to give 40% of the tickets to female candidates. But the party's main focus is on farmers and the backward community.
