During the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, 2007 Rahul Gandhi managed the statewide campaign, while she focused on the ten seats in the Amethi Rae Bareilly region. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra dealt the situation skillfully and spent two weeks there trying to suppress considerable internal strife within the party workers over seat allocations. Other than a political figure, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is noted for her descent and transparent attitude, along with her down to earth nature with her countrymen.
