		Priyanka Vadra with residents of a village in Amethi constituency.
		Mayaywati described Priyanka's visit as part of a "larger conspiracy" by Sonia Gandhi to foment trouble in the region and create tension between Dalits and upper castes because, she said, the Congress(I) had realised that it was losing ground in the State.
		Her remark that "Priyanka Gandhi came to camp here last month only as part of a Congress conspiracy to enact a drama to defame me," failed to draw applause from the crowd, as did her explanation that the Dalit himself was at fault and had encroached upon the land that belonged to a Thakur.

		Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi (इन्दिरा प्रियदर्शिनी गान्धी) (November 19, 1917 – October 31, 1984) was Prime Minister of India from January 19, 1966 to March 24, 1977, and from January 14, 1980 until her assassination in 1984.
		Gandhi in her decision to call for the emergency of 1975–77, has attracted much censure for his dictatorial use of power particularly in his advocacy of press censorship and forced sterilization camps during the state of emergency.
		Rajiv's widow and Indira's daughter-in-law, Sonia Gandhi, led a Congress led "coalition" (which by itself was history for the Congress party) to a surprise electoral victory in the 2004 Lok Sabha, dethroning Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

		Sonia carries all of the the Gandhi appendage, being the wife of the late Rajiv Gandhi, but her opponents never fail to remind the population of her foreign origin, as well as the law in even such an advanced country as the US that disallows a person not born in the country from becoming president.

		Every once in a while, newspapers are plastered with Priyanka pictures: an emotional Priyanka being consoled by her brother at the spot their father was assassinated, a glamorous Priyanka in dazzling silk at a social do or a politically savvy Priyanka in home-spun cotton sitting with peasants.
		While she also has an older brother, Rahul, Priyanka is seen as having "star quality" on the hustings with fluent Hindi and a charisma that reminds many of her grandmother.

		Priyanka Gandhi was her mother's campaign manager and is considered a strong candidate to lead the Congress Party in the future.
		Though Gandhi had been publicly noncommittal about her plans, allies and opponents alike had fully expected her to claim the job that appeared to be hers for the asking, especially after communist and other parties said earlier this week that they would support a Congress Party-led coalition.

		The fact that Varun Gandhi is choosing the BJP as the party from which to pursue these loftier goals is a significant coup for the BJP and a major shock to the Nehru-Gandhi family.
		Rahul and Priyanka are managing to strike a delicate balance between basking in their family's legacy while at the same time making it clear that they intend to forge their own path in Indian politics.

		The Gandhi siblings' proposed entry into politics has sent some ripples in the BJP which is currently wallowing in the glory of the recently discovered “feel good factor”.
		Priyanka may claim the lost dynastic empire only if she proves herself as a leader by coming out openly in political life rather than playing a pretty shy lady in a film out to mesmerise her audience with her one-time “suspense-filled role”.

		This group believes in the principles and ideals of the 32-year-old Priyanka and draws its sustenance from the occasional meetings with the younger Gandhi sibling, the charismatic daughter of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
		Priyanka's ideas were focused on development, upliftment of the socially underprivileged and doing away with social and economic divides, said Sharad Srivastava.

		What everyone's dying to know is whether the newest Gandhi generation, Priyanka, Rahul and Feroze Varun, are going to electrify what promises to be an otherwise ponderous poll given to much electoral arithmetic, into a charged, nail-biting tamasha that is leavened with the tragi-comedy of the past-present.
		Even if Priyanka - acknowledged by many an old-timer, to have a compelling likeness to her larger-than-life grandmother, Indira Gandhi - campaigns for the Congress in the Hindi heartland of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, she may well succeed in making many a corrupted political operator in the opposition lose his or her deposit.
		The irony of history is that when Sanjay, the younger of Indira Gandhi's two sons and her favourite, died in 1980 in a plane crash, a part of Indira died with him…but that's history.
