Priyanka Gandhi's electoral debut, is this a sign of getting a big responsibility?


New Delhi : Priyanka Gandhi's entry into electoral politics has been formally announced. The thing that was most awaited in the Congress for the last ten years was formally announced on Monday. But there was a little catch in it. She will start her election campaign from the South. Actually, this decision is being considered a part of the party's well thought out strategy. A senior party leader said that when Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination from Rae Bareli, it was decided that if Rahul Gandhi wins from both the seats, then Priyanka will contest from Wayanad.Why did Priyanka choose Wayanad and Rahul chose Rae Bareli?
There are two important reasons behind this. If Rahul Gandhi had left the Rae Bareli seat, it would not have sent a better message from the state where the party has performed well recently. Also, the party did not want to leave the state where the party got the support of the people in both 2019 and 2024. The party feels that it can perform better there in the assembly elections to be held in the next two years. Also, the South has proved to be a stronghold of Congress. This is the reason why after Rahul Gandhi left the seat, it was not only a political choice but also a political compulsion for the party to field a candidate from the Gandhi family.

Priyanka has become the X factor of Congress
Priyanka Gandhi, who has been working as Congress General Secretary for the last few years, has become the star campaigner of the party. The demand for her rallies in the elections has started increasing rapidly in the states. Congress got the benefit of aggressive campaigning in Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka. After this, the party believes that Priyanka Gandhi is not only connecting with the common people, but the advantage of her campaign is that she is communicating better with the women voters. The party feels that Priyanka Gandhi is becoming more effective as a woman to attract women. Priyanka is a naturally better speaker. Also, in the last few years, Priyanka Gandhi has also become the one who handles crisis management within the party. On many occasions, she intervened and fixed things. But despite this, her staying away from electoral politics continued to raise many questions.

Although Priyanka Gandhi was given the responsibility of the party in Uttar Pradesh in 2022, but the party could not do anything special then. But the party says that the ground preparation done in that election is now yielding benefits. In a recent interview to NBT, when she was asked about her future role, she said that whatever role the party decides for me, I will play it with full dedication. This indicates that she is also ready to enter electoral politics.

And great responsibility awaits you
According to sources, if Priyanka Gandhi wins from Wayanad, an important responsibility awaits her in the party. According to sources, she may be given important responsibilities related to organization and election management within the party. The top leaders of the party have already received indications of this.

Rahul will enter the Hindi belt

According to sources, Rahul Gandhi will now come forward to strengthen the party especially in the Hindi belt. For this, apart from Uttar Pradesh, he will focus on states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh. The party feels that if Congress has to perform better in 2029, then it will have to increase its seats here. Along with this, the fort in the South will also have to be saved. In such a situation, it is possible that both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi work on a special strategy.

so there was a delay
Many reasons are being given for Priyanka Gandhi's late entry into the electoral fray. But according to party sources, this decision had to be taken by the Gandhi family. It is also being said that Priyanka's husband Robert Vadra has been accused of corruption, so Priyanka Gandhi did not express her desire to contest the elections in a hurry.
