Priyanka played ‘active role’ in tie-up with SP, says Congress

The Congress party, which had lauded Priyanka Gandhi’s role in cobbling together an alliance with Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, was today evasive about the part she could play in the party in future.

Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar said Priyanka, who had hitherto limited herself to Amethi and Rae Bareli Parliamentary seats represented by her brother Rahul Gandhi and mother Sonia respectively, played an “active role” along with senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad in putting together an alliance with Samajwadi Party.
