State Congress president D.K. Shivakumar on Monday said the party’s national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has agreed to campaign for the State Assembly elections next year.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, he said: “We have said that she should spend time for the State during Assembly elections and she has agreed to it.”
This comes amid speculation that a section of the State Congress leaders, including Mr. Shivakumar, want Ms. Priyanka to contest the June 10 Rajya Sabha polls from the State, as they consider it may benefit the party during the Assembly polls next year.
