Congress May Look Towards Priyanka, Says New York Times

The influential US newspaper New York Times has described the assembly election results as a "defeat for Nehru-Gandhi dynasty" and has reported that observers are already looking towards Priyanka Vadra.

".....Congress’s defeat in the state is a particularly significant setback for Rahul Gandhi, who said on Tuesday that he accepted responsibility for the party’s poor showing. Some analysts and political leaders are already beginning to look past Rahul Gandhi to his younger sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, as a potential political heir.

"Many observers consider Ms. Vadra, who bears a striking resemblance to her iron-willed grandmother, Indira Gandhi, to be more charismatic and a better public speaker than her brother.
