It would have been a minor post-poll reshuffle within the Congress organisation if not for one omission that has led to burning hypothesis, the type of which is seen solely as soon as each 5 years – has Priyanka Gandhi Vadra not been given cost of any state regardless of being retained as a General Secretary as a result of she’s making her electoral debut in 2024 Lok Sabha elections?

According to sources, the highest management of the Congress doesn’t wish to be caught lacking any trump card that might be used to problem Prime Minister Narendra Modi in General Elections. Given its success in Telangana and Karnataka the place Priyanka Gandhi was probably the most aggressive throughout campaigning, the highest brass probably sees her as that trump card.

Top sources within the Congress, nevertheless, indicated that it is probably not a direct Modi vs Priyanka contest in Varanasi as recommended by INDIA bloc constituent and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee. Insiders, in truth, recommended that the celebration might not go together with such recommendations by different events and even allies

The Congress is on a sticky wicket in Uttar Pradesh. Its erstwhile bastion of Amethi in addition to Rae Bareli are now not assured wins. Neither might be the certain footing Priyanka Gandhi wants for a profitable electoral debut. Priyanka Gandhi was earlier the General Secretary in-charge of UP however that cost has been given to Avinash Pande within the newest reshuffle. Though she is a part of the manifesto committee, Priyanka is now not in-charge of any state, leaving her to concentrate on Lok Sabha elections.

South is the place success might lie for Priyanka Gandhi. In reality, southern India has been the setting for the political revival and springboard wins of Indira Gandhi (Medak in undivided Andhra Pradesh and Chikkamagaluru in Karnataka), and Sonia Gandhi (Bellary in Karnataka). The Telangana unit of the celebration feels Priyanka ought to contest the Lok Sabha elections from the state as it might assist the celebration in Andhra Pradesh Assembly polls too.

The solely disadvantage of the plan is that Rahul Gandhi is an MP from the south too – Wayanad in Kerala. How nicely will it bode for the celebration if each heirs of its first household enter Parliament from the south? Will it convey the impression that whereas the BJP is a nationwide celebration that’s constructing its base within the south too, the Congress is now a southern entity?

It received’t be a straightforward resolution for the Congress and Priyanka Gandhi.
