Guwahati buzzed with activity as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress parliamentarian, landed Thursday for an intensive two-day mission. Topping her list: a devotional visit to the famed Kamakhya Temple, where she invoked blessings for Assam and beyond, promptly posting the serene scene on X.
Her words on the platform: ‘Took darshan of Maa Kamakhya Devi in Assam and her aashirwad for the prosperity of Assam and our great nation. May her grace envelop every one of our Indian family members. Jai Maa Kamakhya.’ Adorned traditionally with chunari, mala, and tilak, MP Gaurav Gogoi accompanied her in this moment of piety.
Disembarking at Borjhar’s international airport, she beelined for the temple’s hallowed grounds for rituals, weaving spirituality into her political narrative.
From there, to Rajiv Bhawan for substantive strategy powwows on electoral hopefuls. Priyanka’s hands-on involvement ensures a democratic, data-rich selection, fueled by inputs from foot soldiers and local chieftains—a model of methodical planning.
Sessions will dissect contender viability, gauge party machinery’s pulse, and cement alliances across hierarchies. The mantra: electables who master local dynamics and deliver solutions.
Party buzz suggests additional Priyanka sojourns ahead to gauge fieldwork, amass area-specific counsel, and nurture ongoing central-state dialogues as election drums beat louder. Targeting speed, the first Assam Assembly candidate slate may drop by month’s end, after top-brass syncs, launching Congress into battle mode.
