Uttar Pradesh is energising 2019's Lok Sabha politics and how! From its gathbandhan games to the bua-bhatija tie-up, the arrival of Priyanka et al, UP is springing surprises every day!
Priyanka's litmus test would be in whether she can move beyond the optics now and step up the game.
Why didn't Priyanka dress like grandmother Indira Gandhi? Perhaps that's exactly why.
We don't know whether Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would be able to touch the right chords in politics. She has chosen the right colour for UP though.
Dynasty can only take you so far in politics. It is a lesson that Priyanka will learn the hard way in the fullness of time.

Priyanka carries the most famous surname in Indian politics, is telegenic, charismatic and made for the TV age. But is it enough?
From communication to charisma and confidence, Priyanka has it all. Her arrival has rejuvenated the UP Congress and unsettled the saffron ranks.
The Congress should not become complacent thinking UP is in safe hands now. The challenges ahead are just too hard to be dismissed.
Beyond the fawning and fanfare, both Priyanka and Scindia have their tasks cut out, keeping in mind the Congress' past performance, UP's social equations and their alliance prospects.
There is a lot of talk about Priyanka's possible political impact. But the fact remains, Priyanka's face-off with Narendra Modi in the 2014 elections failed to stop the Modi wave.
