Priyanka Gandhi is the emerging leader of the future. She has done it this time in a big way. The hoards of masses who rallied to her to watch her speak at several poll meets, have a grave image of her that empathizes the poor of India.
An important appeal, according to a former Congress party local assembly member in Uttar Pradesh, is the Nehru-Gandhi family's powerful brand of renunciation. Priyanka Gandhi has gone out of her way to tell India's people that she has other priorities.
That, he says, makes her more irresistible, and reminds the followers of her father who until his mother was killed in 1984 by her Sikh bodyguards was a commercial airline pilot whose ambitions to lead were far from certain.
"Faced with a tired and geriatric political class, many of whom are well past their sell-by date, Priyanka clearly stands out," says Rajdeep Sardesai, editor-in-chief of IBN18 Network and a prominent political commentator.
But he quickly adds, "Maybe all she really wants is to be a good mother with interests outside politics? A few months ago, she worked on a very fine coffee table book on tigers. Who knows, maybe she wants to be a wildlife photographer instead of a politician?”
