Will Priyanka Gandhi contest from the

Rae Bareli seat in 2019 election ?
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi appoints his sister Priyanka
Gandhi as AICC general secretary for #UttarPradesh East. The
headline on Priyanka Gandhi misses the mark if it doesn't
underline UP East, where she will run the party campaign-
stronghold of PM Modi in Varanasi and CM Yogi in Gorakh-
pur. This is a risky but bold frontal challenge and the Con-
gress making a big statement. As the General Secretary of UP
East, will Priyanka Gandhi be able to match the charisma of
PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath, she is taking on
PM Modi on his turf, Varanasi.
Sonia will arrive in Rae Bareli for a two-day visit on Wednes-
day. Over the past five years, her visits have been limited
amid reports of health issues. Even her last trip to Rae Bareli
had come after a period of around one and half years.With
Sonia Gandhi expected to visit her Lok Sabha constituency
Rae Bareli after a span of almost nine months, Congress
workers are eager to know whether she will contest from the
seat this election, and who will be her replacement if she
doesn’t.
