Now Priyanka Gandhi has come to the rescue of brother in UP elections. Will the part time politics yield some benefits for Congress??
She has come to campaign like earlier times. If she joins Congress as politician, will that save the sinking ship of Congress??
Other than being part of the Nehru family and living a lavish life on people's money , what contribution has she done ? But the Congress party will dance and call her the savior and if they manage to get even one more seat than the last time she will be hailed by the party for her great contribution, if they perform badly they will find a willing bakhra to take on the blame ..Honestly her doing anything may not matter much but what may matter is their alliance with SP , which may help them get more votes

It is earlier to say that BJP is not so strong in UP. Wait for some time.

May be congress get more votes. But it fact that a national level party is subordinate of state level party.

It is not right that they wants each other. It is alliance only to compete with BJP. Congress is not a reliable party.

That is what I said They certainly want each other because any single party cannot defeat Modi.

possible. Because once this alliance of SP and Congress win, this internal fight will start. Both Akhilesh and Priyanka fight for thr CM's post.
Totally agree with Usha, she has no contribution to politics. So far she has been a part time politicians, para dropped at the occasions of elections. Well, I was surprised to see a TV News channel which debated on the fact that she has got a bright future in Congress or she can be the savior of Congress because of her resemblance to Indira Gandhi. Does that sound logical?? But in India, Politics runs on weird things only and you never know people might accept her as their leader because of her genes that make her resemble her Grandma.
At the grass roots level, it really does not matter whether Modi or Congress rule because a poor man wants food and security and both have not been able to provide the same. Modi can try his best but he cannot alleviate poverty or make India a power to match China or Russia. That is the bottom line. Same with Congress.

I have firm faith in Modi's ability in rising up to the expectations. of the people. It is not only I, every Indian has that faith on Modi. Only thing is one has to wait.
If Congress never succeeded in eradicating poverty in its 60 year rule , how cam Modi do it in one term and that is not the only thing he needs to set right either..But one can see that he is committed unlike the Congress party which was busy covering up its leaders many scams during half its rule ..
Unfortunately, before Modi took over, The Congress damaged the Country in all respects. Modi, after his arrival started to do repairing all the damages caused by the Congress. It is not an easy task for the BJP to repair all the damages done by the Congress overnight. Modi has to be given enough time.
Personality cult and family politics matter a lot in India. No surprise Priyanka Gandhi may considered a saviour. But there is nothing peculiar. In West Bengal, Jyoti Basu was saviour of CPI(M) for many decades. Samajvadi Party without Yadav family is zero. similarly BSP without Mayavati, TMC without Mamata Banerjee and so on.
