New Delhi: Reports claimed on Tuesday that the Congress has finally taken a decision on bringing in Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to campaign for the party across Uttar Pradesh for the crucial Assembly Elections next year.
Several media outlets, including India Today, reported that the party is expected to make a formal announcement regarding the same in the next 48 hours or latest by the end of this week.
"This is confirmed that she has agreed to become the lead campaigner. This will be formally announced by the AICC (All India Congress Committee) in a day or two," an informed source told IANS news agency.
The reports came even as party spokespersons refused to say anything on the speculation going on in the media regarding Priyanka's expanded role – something which analysts see as Priyanka's entry into full-time politics.
“We refuse to indulge in speculation. If and when a decision is taken regarding the role of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, we shall be happy to share it (with you),” Congress spokesman RS Surjewala had told the media earlier in the day.
Congress leaders have so far remained tight-lipped over reports that Priyanka Gandhi would be the party's star campaigner in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh and also on the issue of elevation of Rahul Gandhi as the party chief.
