New Delhi: After the end of the Parliament session, the pictures of ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ have told a new story inside the Congress. Where usually the PM and the Speaker sit in the first row. It is a big deal to see Priyanka Gandhi, who became MP there for the first time. Priyanka not only sat in the first row but also talked to PM Modi while sipping tea. On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi remained completely missing from this important and informal occasion. This style of Priyanka is being considered as proof of her growing power and hold on the party. She has come to the House for the first time but her influence is visible even more than that of the old veterans. Priyanka also had a special meeting with Nitin Gadkari in the House. She is also bringing back together those old and capable leaders of the party whom Rahul had sidelined. Now the discussion about two power centers has become very intense in Congress. Priyanka’s activism and Rahul’s distance have given rise to a new debate within the party.
Did sipping of tea change the old tradition of Congress forever?
Seeing the power of Priyanka Gandhi in the Parliament, two power center questions were raised in the Congress.
Was meeting Nitin Gadkari a calculated move by Priyanka Gandhi?
This shows Priyanka’s art of building rapport with opposition leaders. Rahul Gandhi often adopts a very aggressive and sharp attitude in the House. But Priyanka Gandhi gets her work done with a smile and humility. She reaches Parliament every day at 9.30 am. Even in the media, his coverage is now visible more than that of Rahul Gandhi.
