Uttar Pradesh Assembly Election 2022: The Congress party on Saturday released the list of 30-star campaigners for the third phase of Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls 2022. While the names of senior party leader Rahul Gandhi, party general secretory Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, senior leader Sachin Pilot, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and party leader Mohd Azharuddin featured in the list, actor turned politician Raj Babbar was left out of it.

The list also features the name of senior party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who was dropped from the list of star campaigners for Punjab Assembly Polls. However, Anantpur Sahab MP Manish Tiwari, who was also featured in the Punjab list, was snubbed in the new UP list again.

Meanwhile, news agency ANI reported Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will release the manifesto for UP polls in Lucknow on February 9.
