Priyanka sets tongues wagging

That the image of Priyanka Gandhi, accompanying her husband, Vadra while he was to appear before ED in a money laundering case, the moment after taking charge as general secretary of Congress party has elicited dichotomous responses in one's mind. 

In a positive way it can be construed as a bold act of taking the bull by the horns; To show that she's readied herself to the demands that came with the new role of leadership. In a negative way it can be seen as a desperate attempt and a helpless act of nepotism; To use her offices to protect her husband and own family by implying the corruption cases as vendetta politics. Anyway the optics are glaring.The results? It depends.
