No impact of Priyanka’s entry

There is much ado about nothing. Priyanka's entry into Congress party is not an earth- shattering event and it will have no great impact in the country's political fabric. Her being the daughter of the saintly Sonia or the granddaughter of Indira Gandhi is not going to be of much consequence to the citizens of this country.

Congress party is resorting to all this hype just to whip up frenzy as they have nothing else to boast off. Priyanka can never match the mercurial Jayalalitha or for that matter the eloquent Mayawati. Both these leaders have donned the mantle of Chief ministers and have learnt nuances of politics and administration hands down. It is a pity that the Congress party should present Priyanka, who carries a baggage thanks to her husband and also a novice to hustings of Indian politics.
