Priyanka Gandhi, newly elected
general secretary of Indian National Congress and the sister of Congress
president, is naturally counted the most powerful leader of the party today
after Rahul Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi, Mother of Rahul-Priyanka, has lessened
involvement in her political activities nowadays. It is better not her talk
here, but who is most powerful in the party cadre after Rahul and Priyanka?
The different men can claim in
different way the reply of this question, but Priyanka also gave a signal on
Monday. The day, Monday, is not only her appearance in Lucknow as the chief of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, but also on this day she signed in her tweeter account. Tweeter’s
followers reached beyond 1 lacs within a few hours on first day.
But whom Priyanka is following on
tweeter, they are just seven magnificent. one of this is an official tweeter
handle of congress party and remaining are 6 congress leaders. one of them
is naturally Rahul Gandhi her elder
brother, besides it she is following just five more Congress leaders. On this
ground it can be said that 5 more leaders in congress are most powerful. Who
are these 5 leaders and the reason is why they should be counted most powerful
in the congress party?
Ahmad Patel is the treasurer of
congress party, but his dignity is not mere by his treasurer post. When
Manmohan Singh’s government was in power at centre and Sonia Gandhi was the
president of party during this tenure, Ahmad Patel was the political mentor to
Sonia and confidant to her. after the emergence of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah
and in spite of coming from the same home state of both and all their efforts to
could do nothing to defeat Patel in Rajya Sabha election shows Ahmad Patel’s
hold in the Cong party. Moreover, Ahmad Patel plays important role to collect
the resources and to manage various issues for the party. Several works related
to the management level, Ahmad Patel did in the last round of Rajasthan
Assembly election. The reason is clear why he is powerful still in the party
after in spite of being active of Priyaka Gandhi and changing of party
president.
Ashok Gehlot is the CM of Rajasthan.
His role was as an organisation general secretary in the congress exactly
before taking the oath of CM post. Inside the party it was the talk about Ashok
Gehlot before being taken the oath of CM post that what the role Ahmad Patel
was performing with Sonia Gandhi; the same is being done by Ashok Gehlot with
Rahul Gandhi. Whether it had been the Assembly Election of Gujarat or the
issue, to cease the BJP to form its government in Karnatka; on both fronts
Ashok Gehlot played an active role. The congress is hoping an affirmative
result in the parliamentary election 2019 in Rajasthan. It is in talk that
Rahul seeing the forth coming Parliamentary election, has given the charge of
Rajasthan to Ashok Gehlot. Even it is in talk that Ashok Gehlot, after going to
Jaipur, is in regular contact with the Rahul Gandhi. The Rahul’s reliance over
him has made him a powerful leader in the congress.
Jyotiraditya Scindia was in the run
of the CM post in Madhya Pradesh, but the bet fell in hand of Kamal Nath
eventually. the congress has activated Priyanka Gandhi as a trump card to the
eastern UP, the western UP’s command shall
be handled by Jyotiraditya Scindia. Rahul Gandhi and Congress party are
appeared to be giving the identical importance to Jyotiraditya and Priyanka
both in UP. Both leaders office in New Delhi are in the same room. Rahul
Gandhi’s political planning has had UP an important role; so Rahul Gandhi has
deployed Jyotiraditya Scindia here with Priyanka. Rahul’s trust over him is the
reason why Scindia, in spite of lagging in the run of CM post, is the powerful
leader in the congress.
Randeep Singh Surjewala is the
communication in charge in congress party. He is official spokesperson in the
party. Recently, though he has lost his election from Jind in Haryana, but he
is still powerful in the party. Randeep Singh Surjewala decides how
spokesperson of the party shall put their views on important issues, Surjewala
decides this responsibility. It is said that he is close to both Rahul and
Priyanka. Duo leaders' likes are with Surjewala.
Sachin Pilot is
understood that just as he had handled the work as the state president in
Rajasthan, he could have been made the CM of the state; the short of majority
and the coming Parliamentary election 2019, he had to satisfy with the deputy
CM post. However his importance is still maintained in the eyes of Rahul and
Priyanka. In case we peep among party leaders’ talk, Rahul thinks that the
party’s future plans in Rajasthan shall stay around Sachin Pilot
