A Priyanka Gandhi calendar available online

Posted by blog master Saturday, January 16, 2010

New Delhi: It is a New Year calendar on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra - capturing her in various moods and colourful saris as she connects with voters in Uttar Pradesh. But the ruling Congress party refuses to say whether it is an indication that the important Gandhi family member will be finally joining politics.

The calender has also been posted on a website, pressbrief.in, that is a depository of information on the Gandhi family.

Congress sources say the calendar was posted on the website on January 12, Priyanka's birthday. It shows her interacting with voters in Rai Bareli and Amethi.

The calendar has led to conjecture about the possibility of her joining active politics in the coming months.

Available on the web, it can be downloaded by any person wishing to have a Priyanka Gandhi calendar.

Besides the 'Priyanka Gandhi Vadra - Rae BareliAmethi Calendar 2010', the website also contains New Year calendars on Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.

Priyanka Gandhi campaigned in Rae Bareli and Amethi, her mother and brother's parliamentary constituencies respectively, in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections but took questions from the media on national issues. There have been demands from party workers that she should join active politics.

The Congress refused to comment if the calendar signalled the younger Gandhi sibling joining politics.

Party spokesman Manish Tewari said the decision should be left to her will.

"There have been demands from time to time for her to join politics but the decision should be left to her will. It is her personal decision," Tewari said, and declined to speak about the calendar.

Party sources said that website 'pressbrief.in' was launched by people connected with Rahul Gandhi's campaign for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2007. It has information, photos and videos of rallies and speeches of the Gandhi family.

Another New Year calendar brought out to mark the 125th anniversary of the Congress features Priyanka Gandhi on its second page along with her brother Rahul Gandhi. The calendar has been brought out by Pradip Rathi, general secretary of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee.

Hyderabad: The leader of opposition in Andhra Pradesh assembly and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday demanded the immediate sacking of the state Governor N D Tiwari for his alleged involvement in a 'sex scandal' in Raja Bhavan in Hyderabad.

"The only way for him is to resign or the Centre should sack him," he said.

He made the demand after a local television channel broadcast a footage showing the happenings in Raj Bhavan late in the night. The television report also alleged that many important people, including some members of Parliament, were also involved in the sordid affair.

"It is very fortunate and shocking incident. The values and ethics have gone down and institutions which are like temples of democracy have been degenerated," he said.

"Never in the past have we witnessed such incidents," he said.

Naidu demanded a CBI inquiry in to the matter.

As ABN channel showed the footage, there was angry reaction from all over the state and the effigy of the governor was burnt in Vijaywada, Visakhapatanam, Kurnool, Hyderabad and many other places.

Several civil society organisations, including women's organisations, have demanded Governor Tiwari's immediate dismissal.

Interestingly, the expose came just when there was a talk of the centre changing the state governor in view of volatile political situation over the Telangana issue.

It may be mentioned here that Tiwari, a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and Uttaranchal, had faced a paternity case from a youth but Tiwari had refused to undergo DNA test.
