It could be considered as Congress's master stroke. Yesterday all prime news channels of Bharat telecasted news that Congress will field Priyanka Gandhi in campaign all over Bharat. However, after hours long discussion on what would happen after Priyanka's entry at national level politics, Congress dismissed reports and counter blamed that it was BJP which spread this news to cover its failure in handling Madhya Pradesh temple stampede. Questions are:
(1) Who spread this news?
(2) Why did someone spread this news?
(3) Why did Congress backtrack?
If Congress would have decided to field Priyanka Gandhi at national level against Narendra Modi, it
would be difficult for Narendra Modi to face Priyanka because Modi could be unable to speak against Priyanka as he uses to speak against Rahul as it would be Woman respect case and if Modi speaks against Priyanka in disgracefull manner, Modi could loose his popularity in women voters.
And also from preliminary impression, it seems Priyanka is more intelligent than Rahul Gandhi. She is cute. She has good Hindi speaking skills unlike her mother Sonia. And BJP would not be able to oppose Priyanka becoming prime minister as it did against Sonia Gandhi citing her foreign roots.
It is tregedy of Bhartiya people that they decide to vote on basis of Charismatic personality and not on basis of issues. It implies to even Narendra Modi whose image is like Rajinikanth of Bhartiya politics who can do everything to save people. So chances are high that people can go for Priyanka as she has fair skin, cute smiley face and beautiful figure like indian actresses.
People have tried and tasted Rahul Gandhi who sometimed does immature acts like tearing Samajwadi Party manifesto in Uttar Pradesh assembly election and terming ordinance to save convicted MPs-MLAs from disqualification as NONSENSE. While Priyanka is yet to pass such tests. She has campaigned just in Amethi and Raibareli. She is not given by congress responsiblity to win full state elections/loksabha elections like Rahul. Her views are not known. Rahul uses to be silent on important issues. It will have to be seen what type of attitude Priyanka adopts on important issues. She was also silent on women sensitive issues such as Delhi Gang rape. So there are many pros and cons for Priyanka Gandhi's success.
Considering above facts, Priyanka Gandhi could have been proven Trump Card for Congress, then why it backtracked. Was it mischief of BJP to test reactions of political parties, public and media what if Congress plays its trump card? Was game plan of Congress leaked at earlier stage? Did Congress miss the bus by not endorsing news reports about fielding Priyanka against Modi?There are lot of questions that need to be answered.
