Priyanka says she doesn't feel need to enter politics



London, Apr 19 (PTI) Star campaigner of the Congress
Party and daughter of Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi says that
she does not feel the need to enter politics as there are many
ways to serve the people, days after indicating that she was
not averse to joining it.

"I think there are many ways to serve people and I just
don't feel the need to enter politics," 37-year-old Priyanka
told 'The Sunday Times'.

Her comments follow her April 12 remarks when she gave
her first indication that she was not averse to joining
politics.

"As I am growing older, I'm realising that 'never' is
a bad thing to say. So I'm not going to say never," she had
told reporters while campaigning for her brother Rahul in UP's
Amethi Lok Sabha constituency, when asked whether she would
join active politics.

However, she had added,"...but I certainly don't see it.
I don't feel that (joining politics) is what I would do."

Priyanka, the Times reported, says that only the Gandhi
family and Congress party are serious about development and
the issues that challenge the country.

"People will vote for my family and the Congress party
because they are the only ones who are serious about
development and the issues that challenge the nation," she was
quoted as saying by the paper. PTI HSR
