Priyanka Gandhi joins politics, given key UP post ahead of Lok Sabha polls; dynasty politics forte of Congress, says PM Modi

The Congress on Wednesday named Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as general secretary for Uttar Pradesh East - a move which is being seen as a desperate attempt by the party to galvanise its workforce just a few months ahead of the crucial Lok Sabha elections 2019. Announcing his sister's plunge into politics, Congress president Rahul Gandhi even issued a warning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that he has not sent Priyanka to UP 'just for two months'.
