All-Time Political EXCLUSIVE: Priyanka Vadra's secret conspiracy to replace Rahul Gandhi exposed

Less than two months after Congress party was routed in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Priyanka Vra has planned a massive undercover move to replace her bror. While Rahul Gandhi has been sulking, top sources within Congress party say that Priyanka has been working overtime with her close ring of leers to prop herself to post of Congress president.

According to se sources, Priyanka is very angry that Rahul went on record to say that no Gandhi should necessarily succeed him. But because she can't publicly contrict Rahul as of now, she has unleashed a campaign led by her right-hand man and loyalist Rajeev Shukla to take over as Congress president.

Rajeev Shukla who is from Kanpur in Uttar Presh has, in turn, asked Sriprakash Jaiswal to start making noises about making Priyanka party president, and he has duly obliged, saying that along with 'many people', he too believes that Priyanka Vra should become Congress chief as she belongs to Gandhi family and has quality to le party.

Anor leer who has been roped in by Rajeev Shukla and demanded Priyanka takes over is Bhakta Charan Das, who said that re was a demand by party leers for Priyanka to succeed Rahul as she is a leer who is acceptable to everyone. Note similarities between Jaiswal and Bhakta's statements.

or person who has been vising Vra behind scenes is Prashant Kishor. Kishor, sources said, can't come out into open because his party JDU is in an official alliance with BJP, but  sources confirmed that he is also a critical part of strategy. As part of strategy, Priyanka Vra whose enthusiasm to become Congress president, according to source, 'is at an all-time high', has also claimed rar bizarrely that Nelson Mandela wanted her to join politics. This is a rar foolish statement given that Nelson Mandela died in December 2013. And picture that Priyanka showed as proof that Nelson Mandela wanted her to become president is at least 18 old.

Interestingly, Priyanka has also thrown a fuss about Congress leers being forced to quit for ir failure in  election and has flatly refused to do same. Her campaign in Eastern UP was most unmitigated loss in election where Congress was defeated in all but one of seats. But while all or Congress leers have quit she has refused to do so, all while blaming or senior and not-so-senior leers of party for Congress loss. This proves that Priyanka sees Congress loss as an opportunity to project her own political ambitions. reason Priyanka Vra is now getting a t desperate is because of strong moves within Congress to prop a more acceptable mass leer as party president replacing Rahul. 

Multiple sources in Congress party speaking to Republic on condition of anonymity said that Priyanka saw 2019 election as first of her moves to oust Rahul, but never expected her own performance to come under scanner in way that it did. Her style of campaigning was criticised, she proved totally ineffective versus Smriti Irani in Amethi and across Eastern UP where she was put in charge was unable to gar crowds or public support. Her speeches were seen to be superficial. And her monishing style while speaking to voters cost her party dearly. 

Worried that she would be clubbed with Rahul and held responsible for drubbing, Priyanka carefully crafted a plot to deflect attention from herself and hence, both cried at a critical CWC meeting as well as berated all leers of party except for those from Gandhi family. During this period she also held a secret meeting with Rajeev Shukla who vised her to wait for a month before starting her own campaign. What Priyanka Vra did not anticipate was outcry from Congress workers for a non-Gandhi younger face to emerge as party president, led by possibilities such as Rajasthan Deputy CM Sachin Pilot and Mhya Presh's Jyotiritya Scindia. se two 40+ leers are seen as younger and sharper alternatives to Rahul Gandhi with mass appeal and over a dece-and-a-half in active politics each. It is at this stage that Priyanka Vra lobby decided to step up its campaign. Priyanka panicked when Congress CM Captain Amarinder Singh, in a clear indication that he would support Sachin Pilot or Jyotiritya Scindia said on July 6 that re needs to be a younger leer.

Interestingly, within a week of this, 'Unleash Priyanka' plan was launched. idea behind her campaign to be party president is that very thought of a Gandhi replacing a Gandhi will keep Sachin Pilot and Jyotiritya Scindia at bay, as in keeping with trition within  Congress, y'll fall in line and support Priyanka as well. So stage is now set for a story that no Congress beat reporter is willing to report yet: A contest between Priyanka Vra on one side and a Sachin Pilot or Jyotiritya Scindia on or. Congress beat reporters are known to be remarkably faithful to Gandhi family. This perhaps explains why none of m are reporting story that is being spoken of openly in Congress circles. reason is that most Congress beat reporters are now hoping for kindness of Priyanka Vra and refore, want to underplay challenge that is emerging within and dissatisfaction of Congress workers with unrelenting family saga within embattled party. 

Only this time, with her declaration that Nelson Mandela wanted her to join politics, Priyanka Vra has spilled beans on her ambitions. This is now going to be most keenly watched political story in next few weeks and Republic World will be keeping you ahe.
