Politics is family tradition of Nehru-Gandhi family beginning right from Pandit Motilal Nehru to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru – Indira Gandhi – Sanjay Gandhi – Rajiv Gandhi – Sonia Gandhi – Rahul Gandhi to Priyanka Gandhi. They were and they are there on their own merits and not just push in the politics. They entered politics through direct electoral politics, it is there public acceptability.
After Independence and adoptation of system of Parliamentary democracy now there are many political leaders who indicted their kith and kin in politics. There is a long list of such persons. But to name the few in Madhya Pradesh the first Chief Minister Pandit Ravi Shankar Shukla, Rajmata Scindia, Digvijay Singh, Govind Narain Singh, Kailash Vijayvargiya, Babulal Gaur etc. and Prakash Singh Badal, Laloo Yadav, Biju Patnaik, Yashwant Sinha, Shankar Rao Chavhan, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Karunanidhi etc.
There no reason to isolate Priyanka Gandhi for family reference and induction. Even uptil now she was active in politics confined to election campaign for her brother Mr.Rahul Gandhi and mother Mrs.Sonia Gandhi. In all the Lok Sabha election Uttar Pradesh is a vital factor for having largest number 80 seats.
Even Mr.Narendra Modi is Prime Minister with the grace of becoming member from Varanasi seat and to be on safe and secured side he also contested his home state Gujarat seat of Vadodara, he resigned from here and maintained Varanasi.
At present Congress has only 2 seats Rai Bareili of Sonia Gandhi and Amethi of Rahul Gandhi. Now young Rahul Gandhi decided that Congress would contest all the 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh and he is managing party affairs very well from Gujarat and Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and want to carry on forward march on all the states in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Mrs.Sonia Gandhi is ailing and declared her intention not to contest election further. It appears as certainly that Priyanka Gandhi will replace her mother on Rai Bareili seat. But there is more possibility while drafting Priyanka Gandhi in the Party as General Secretary incharge of eastern Uttar Pradesh Mr.Rahul Gandhi in a very casual way gave some other indication also that Party will go further after the Lok Sabha polls and would have Congress Chief Minister on the state. He may have Priyanka Gandhi in his mind.
Mr.Rahul Gandhi also appointed the Congress MP from Guna Madhya Pradesh Mr.Jyotiraditya Scindia as another General Secretary to deal with the Lok Sabha elections from western Uttar Pradesh. Now Priyanka and Scindia to look after the Lok Sabha election in Uttar Pradesh.
When SP-BSP alliance in UP ignored and kept out the Congress it had rebound effect on the Congress, which promptly declared that the Party will contest all the seats in the State. Mr.Rahul Gandhi also sounded the SP-BSP leaders if they come forward to join hands Congress would consider it.
