No decision taken on Priyanka's role in UP polls: Azad

Rebutting rumours about the role of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh polls, senior congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that the news is incorrect and nothing has been decided yet.

"I don't know, who is running or spreading this information that Priyanka would lead campaign committee as chairmen. This information is not correct. There are several ideas and proposal on which deliberation is going on. If she wants to come during the campaign that is different," he said.

Azad, who is also the general secretary in-charge of UP, said that no decision has been taken on the role of Priyanka in the upcoming polls.

The Congress top brass is waiting for Rahul Gandhi’s return from aboard before deciding Priyanka’s role in UP polls.

Earlier, it was said that the Congress party was likely to formally announce Priyanka as its campaign in-charge in Uttar Pradesh this week. Interestingly, the Gandhi scion has not campaigned beyond the family strongholds of Amethi and Rae Bareilly.
