Priyanka to campaign in Amethi, Raibareli on Friday

                      New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's sister Priyanka Gandhi will be in Raibareli and his Parliamentary constituency, Amethi, in Uttar Pradesh for the next three days, wooing voters to vote for the Congress. This will be her second visit in the past few weeks to the electorally-crucial areas.
Rahul will also be campaigning across the state. On Thursday, Rahul addressed a rally in Meerut with ally and RLD chief Ajit Singh.
Priyanka has been feverishly campaigning for her brother in the politically significant state ever since the Election Commission blew the poll bugle.
She campaigned in Babuganj on January 16 and toured the state for the next three days covering Amethi and Raibareli.
She even hinted that she was ready to join politics if her brother wanted her to.
"(I) will campaign in Amethi and Rae Bareli right now. I will do anything Rahul wants me to do. (I) haven't decided yet on joining active politics. If Rahul wants me to campaign, I will campaign," she said, thus hinting at the clear shift in the power centre within the party from Sonia to Rahul.
The elections for the 403-member Uttar Pradesh Assembly will be held in February in seven phases.
