Rajya Sabha seat for Priyanka Gandhi?

February 02, 2015 12:53

A desperate Congress seems keen to use its Brahmastra -- Priyanka Gandhi.

Youngsters from the party want Priyanka to be given a Rajya Sabha seat.

What may happen is that Sonia Gandhi may agree to this proposition since it will no hamper Rahul's stature in the party.

But if Priyanka does indeed get a RS seat, the Congress will get reinvigorated..

The party of course, has to watchout since the BJP will use the move for political gain saying that the family is in Parliament and not in hearts of the voters.
