Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Friday hinted that she could be the chief ministerial face of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh. Mrs Gandhi Vadra, who was releasing a manifesto outlining job creation plans for the youth of UP, was asked about speculation over the Congress' chief ministerial candidate for this election. "Do you see any other face in the UP Congress party? Then?" Ms Gandhi Vadra replied. "If such circumstances arise we would be open to considering that. If such a situation arises, we would want out agenda - for women and youth - to be fulfilled in any such dispensation," she said. In 2019, ahead of the Lok Sabha election, Ms Gandhi Vadra told reporters she was ready to contest "if (my) party wants (me to)". That was when she had been appointed as the party's in-charge for eastern Uttar Pradesh, leading to buzz she could contest from Rae Bareli. But her reply to a follow-up was striking; "why not" she said when asked if she wanted to contest. UP votes in a seven-phase poll that begins February 10, with results due on March 10.
