Pioneer
That the Nehru-Gandhi family rules the Congress is a widely acknowledged fact, though there are a few of those who wish to believe against all available evidence that the Congress is the most democratic organisation that exists in the country.

Maulshree Seth, Indian Express
Robert Vadra, the businessman son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi, today declared that he could enter politics if “people want”, a statement that his wife Priyanka attempted to downplay shortly afterward. There was another controversy after an election officer in Salon in Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district stopped him while leading a bike rally.

Nehru-Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi can never escape the looming shadow of the Italian connection, which, like Banquo’s ghost, surfaces in the most embarrassing ways. The identity of the recipients of the kickbacks in the Bofors gun deal and Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi’s dubious role in the episode may have been swept under the carpet, but during election campaigns the Italian linkage becomes a sore point. |

The much publicised speculation that the charisma of star campaigner Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will now also be used by the party in other parts of the State is likely to be put to rest. The growing resentment within loyalists in Rahul’s own bastion — Amethi and Rae Bareli — is said to be noticed by Priyanka, though she is the non-political scion of the Gandhi dynasty.
