Priyanka Gandhi Finally Enters Politics
Rahul Gandhi appoints Priyanka Gandhi as the new General Secretary for Uttar Pradesh [E].
Rahul Gandhi has appointed his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as the All India Congress Committee [AICC] General Secretary for Uttar Pradesh [E]. Her appointment comes at a very crucial point, because PM Narendra Modi was elected from Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh East. The Congress has made this decision just a few months before the Lok Sabha elections.
She will take charge from 1st February 2019. This is the first time Priyanka Gandhi will hold an official position in the Congress party. She has always supported her mother Sonia Gandhi and her brother Rahul Gandhi in all their elections.
In the 2016 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections, there rumours that Priyanka Gandhi would contest the elections to become the Chief Minister. She rejected the rumours.
Currently, the Congress party has only 7 MLAs in UP. They have only two seats from UP in the Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi welcomed his sister and said that the Congress party will work very hard for the next elections.
The Congress party has not confirmed whether Priyanka will take part in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.
