Locals in Congress party's pocket borough Rae Bareli, including Congress members, may be fond of Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul but feel it is Priyanka Vadra who has the mettle and charisma of her late grandmother Indira Gandhi and is more capable of bringing about a sea change in the country's politics.
"We like Priyanka Gandhi more than Rahul. When she gets down from her car and walks towards the people, you feel Indira Gandhi -- in her 'Ma Durga' avatar -- is standing in front of you.
"She is the real inheritor of her grandmother and her father Rajiv Gandhi's legacy.She should definitely enter politics," says Ghanshyam Pathak, a local shopkeeper who has been associated with the Congress for decades.
He recalls with fondness the days when Indira Gandhi was at the helm of affairs in the Congress.
Though the voters of these two "VIP constituencies" are loyal supporters of the first family of Congress, they feel Priyanka is the most charismatic and able in the Nehru-Gandhi clan today.
Her connect with the poor folk -- especially women -- has endeared her to the public.
Some Congress supporters feel if not from here, she can contest from any other constituency but it is time she entered politics
