Taking charge

FINALLY, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has arrived. As her brother, Rahul Gandhi, and mother, Sonia Gandhi, campaign across the country, Priyanka has taken charge of the Congress party’s election control room. Though there are many leaders in the planning team, the final nod is always taken from Priyanka. It is learnt that the Congress has roped in a prominent survey agency, which has briefed Priyanka on the winnable seats in the election. Kunwar Jitendra Singh and Suman Dubey, a veteran journalist and an old friend of the Gandhi family, are the core members of Priyanka’s team. In fact, the names of senior leaders who visited different States were also finalised by Priyanka. Her team also planned optimum utilisation of helicopters by installing GPS machines. So don’t be surprised if in the days to come Priyanka takes over as the de-facto boss of the party.
