Priyanka Vadra may not be campaignin­g for the Congress in the Assembly elections, but she has emerged as a major force for the party. Congress’ Janavedna convention against demonetisa­tion is said to be her idea. She also monitored the preparatio­ns and was the last to leave the venue a day before the convention. Apparently, she also wrote the speech that Rahul delivered at the convention. It was again her suggestion to ally with the Samajwadi Party, and it was at her residence that Dimple and Akhilesh Yadav met Rahul over dinner. However, sources say that Priyanka withdrew from the campaign once it became clear that the Congress would not be fighting alone in Uttar Pradesh. But she has indicated that she would campaign for the party in 2019.
