Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan Sachin Pilot on Wednesday said Priyanka Gandhi’s appointment as AICC general secretary for UP East will inspire party workers across the country.
“It is a welcome development. This will boost party workers across the country. It has been a long standing demand of the workers to give her (Priyanka) an official role.
“Until now, she chose to restrict herself to campaigning in Amethi and Raebareli but now as a general secretary, she will strengthen the party’s Lok Sabha campaign in the next three months,” he said.
Pilot said her new official role will make a huge difference. “Today we understand India is going through a very challenging time and people are looking at the Congress to give an alternative and we need to really get our act together and give a very charged campaign...” said the Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
Pilot’s boss, Ashok Gehlot has also welcomed the announcement.
