Even as the news of the announcement of Priyanka Vadra Gandhi as the Congress party in-charge for Eastern Uttar Pradesh took the nation by surprise, the news has been widely greeted with support and fanfare by political leaders, Twitterati and the social media.
'Thalapathi' M K Stalin was among the first to greet Priyanka tweeting, "I wholeheartedly congratulate Priyanka Gandhi on joining active politics and wish her the best in this new role.” Kanimozhi, Rajya Sabha MP also was quick to congratulate Priyanka Gandhi tweeting, "Congratulations to Ms. Priyanka Gandhi for being appointed as in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh and I wish her the best.”
While Twitter has exploded with comments on the greetings by the DMK’s young generation leaders with some immediately calling Priyanka Gandhi as the "Future Indira Gandhi,” some others were critical of another member of the Nehru-Gandhi family entering politics and chose to dub it as the perpetuation of dynastic politics.
