Priyanka Gandhi's big political plunge before 2019 general election
The Congress party has finally exposed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to mainstream politics, as she has been appointed as the AICC general secretary for Uttar Pradesh (East).
In a note issued by general secretary Ashok Gehlot, it has been informed that Priyanka will assume power in the first week of February, 2019.
This is the first official position held by Priyanka. The Gandhi scion has always shied away from active politics citing personal reasons.

This comes in the aftermath of the Congress party securing astounding victory in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan in the recently concluded assembly elections.
Meanwhile, Jyotiraditya Scindia was appointed AICC general secretary for UP West, a party spokesperson said.
The party also replaced Ashok Gehlot as AICC general secretary Organisation with K C Venugopal.
