Now the question is that why has the Congress leadership confined Priyanka to Amethi and Rae Bareli only? Had she been campaigning in other constituencies, she could have made a difference to Congress fortunes. Has the Congress party failed to realize what is obvious to the rest of the world?
Some political observers believe that despite successive electoral defeats under Rahul Gandhi, the Congress president Sonia Gandhi does not want to bring in Priyanka Gandhi because she, like any other Indian mother, is fond of her son. They also point out that even in Italy, the birth place of Sonia Gandhi, the mothers are more like Indian mothers who prefer sons over daughters.
Whatever be the truth, crucial decisions of the party can't be taken on the basis of emotions. Politics is a throat-cutting battle field and you have to put your best foot forward.
