"We are fired up and ready to go," the Congress gushed in a tweet, one of the countless put out by the party's various units. 47-year-old Priyanka Vadra Gandhi, who reminds many of her grandmother and former prime minister Indira Gandhi both for her charisma and the stunning likeness, has confined herself to the constituencies of her brother Rahul and mother Sonia Gandhi - Amethi and Raebareli - till now. The giant announcement came as Rahul Gandhi began a two-day visit to Amethi. Many congratulations to Shri K C Venugopal, Smt. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Shri @JM_Scindia on their new appointments. It is also a challenge to the BJP. In national and state elections since 2004, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has campaigned in the family seats where the Gandhis enjoy almost royal status. Congressmen say Priyanka Gandhi was always active in decision-making and played a key role in the alliance with Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh election. The BJP shrugged off the Congress announcement.
