Priyanka Gandhi takes command of Eastern UP |
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, daughter of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and sister of Indian National Congress president, Rahul Gandhi returned from US on Monday, and held meetings at her brother`s residence at Tughlaq Road in New Delhi. Priyanka, who joined politics last month, held meetings for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Congress general secretary for UP-West Jyotiraditya Scindia was also at the meeting. She is now party`s general secretary in charge of the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, which pits her against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as their constituencies in Varanasi and Gorakhpur respectively falls in the eastern region. Speculations are rife that she could contest from Raebareli. She is a known face there as she had confined herself only to campaigning in Amethi and Raebareli - the constituencies of her brother and mother Sonia Gandhi. The 47 year old Priyanka Gandhi always remained active in the party`s politics and had played, major role in clinching major decisions like party`s tie up with the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh in 2017.
