Bhubaneswar: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's entry into politics was not sudden, as she had decided to play a role in the party after her children grew up. The decision on the timing of Priyanka's political plunge was taken some years ago. She was delaying it because of the children, he said, replying to a question at an interactive session here.

"Now her children are grown-up. Therefore, she decided to join politics," he said. On Priyanka's political role, Gandhi said her main job was to revive the Congress in Uttar Pradesh. No decision on her role outside that state has been taken.
