A Priyanka Gandhi Calendar that is Available Online


New Delhi, Jan 14 (IANS) It is a New Year calendar on Priyanka Gandhi Vadra - capturing her in various moods and colourful saris as she connects with voters in Uttar Pradesh. But the ruling Congress party refuses to say whether it is an indication that the important Gandhi family member will be finally joining politics.

The calender has also been posted on a website, pressbrief.in, that is a depository of information on the Gandhi family.

Congress sources say the calendar was posted on the website on Jan 12, Priyanka's birthday. It shows her interacting with voters in Rai Bareli and Amethi.

The calendar has led to conjecture about the possibility of her joining active politics in the coming months.

Available on the web, it can be downloaded by any person wishing to have a Priyanka Gandhi calendar.

Besides the 'Priyanka Gandhi Vadra - Rae BareliAmethi Calendar 2010', the website also contains New Year calendars on Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.

Priyanka Gandhi campaigned in Rae Bareli and Amethi, her mother and brother's parliamentary constituencies respectively, in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections but took questions from the media on national issues. There have been demands from party workers that she should join active politics.

The Congress refused to comment if the calendar signalled the younger Gandhi sibling joining politics.

Party spokesman Manish Tewari said the decision should be left to her will.

"There have been demands from time to time for her to join politics but the decision should be left to her will. It is her personal decision," Tewari said, and declined to speak about the calendar.

Party sources said that website 'pressbrief.in' was launched by people connected with Rahul Gandhi's campaign for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2007. It has information, photos and videos of rallies and speeches of the Gandhi family.

Another New Year calendar brought out to mark the 125th anniversary of the Congress features Priyanka Gandhi on its second page along with her brother Rahul Gandhi. The calendar has been brought out by Pradip Rathi, general secretary of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee.

    CORRECTED MESSAGE: Is President Dr. Abdul Kalam in power now and does he made any rule that a foreign born person cannot become P.M. of India? (Before: where is Former Abdul Kalam now? Is he in power and does he made any rule that a foreign born person cannot not become P.M., of India.)

    Dear Mr Raj Mangalore, I quote your words " You said Sonia Gandhi was favoured unanimous PM candiadte? Yes favoured by whom? The Congress party. The family enterprise of Nehru family to which she belongs. And she did not sacrifice the PM's post rather she was not eligible for it, else there was no power stopping her from being the PM. And you people call this sacrifice? Unquote. Yes the elected members of the congress men all have favored Madam Sonia Gandhi as Prime Ministerial Candidate. As per Mr. Nagesh Nayak President Abdul Kalam THERE IS NO SACRIFICE FROM YOUR MADAMME. MR.ABDUL KALAM DID WONDERFUL JUDGEMENT.

    Where is Former Abdul Kalam now? Is he in power and does he made any rule that a foreign born person cannot not become P.M., of India. If she had lust for power she can now become P.M. Can anybody stop her except the bjp who is in opposition? Certainly they have to oppose because they are in opposition and vice versa. It is she forfeited/sacrificed the post/power to others. Pertaining to your comment Family enterprise, if Mr. Vajayapee was having a son or daughter bjp will definitely choose the family enterprise of Mr. Vajyapayee. Pertaining to the eligibility do you say Mr. L.K. Advani had eligibility to become P.M.? He has only a big mouth. Does he had mandate? Who will elect him?

    Mr. Nagesh Nayak, Through your comments it is evident/presumable that now you understand Indiraji and Rajivji have sacrificed their life for the nation because you have excluded the names of both late prime ministers. See how hard your heart is and mind to get in to the facts. Now your problem is Madam Sonia Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi was favored unanimous P.M candidate and she refused. In my opinion that is sacrifice of power. Sacrifice means in your opinion she should be killed? Not necessary to be killed any higher position sacrificed is enough? She knows very well how Rajivji was killed and she was reluctant to become congress president.

    Once she became congress president she brought up the congress from bottom to top (organized from grass root level) now all are ready to compromise with her concerning the party matters. Learn something from here: English dictionary of U.S. says for sacrifice: give up, forgo, forfeit, let go, surrender. Do you need more than this? Concerning to your Abdul Kalam’s word this is a false propaganda from the fundamentalists.

    Dear Sudhir-Kundapur/USA Calendars are not made just with 'Smoking hot' ladies. If you thought so, then it shows u r a pervert. FYI, there are calendars with different themes like nature, wildlife, roses,seasons, leaders, etc and they are supposed to serve as a source of motivation and inspiration. The calendar in question here is also one such. Not bcoz of her physical attributes alone. Much has to do with the way she carries herself, her self respect, without foul mouthing anybody and maintaining her dignity unlike Sushma Swaraj, Uma Bharathi or Mayawati who stoop down to levels that dont even suit hooligans. What a shame? And you should be ashamed of yourself that you talk the way you do. Sure does fit you and your sleazy dreams about the KF calendar girls.

    Harish Ghante, Some corrections to your post. 1) IPKF was sent to Sri Lanka in 1987. 2) Composition of parliament - Congress-404, BJP-2, Communists-22, Telugu Desam -30. 3) So put blame on BJP as BJP was virtually non existent in LS at that time. (Now you are free to call me communal -) 4) My history is bit weak. Can you please enlighten me as to who supported Bindranwale initially who grew up into such a monster that operation blue star was required. Definitely not a decision for the country 5) Food for thought - Few churches damaged in Mangalore and all the secular people cry day in and day out. But then Indira Gandhi's action destroyed the Harmandar Sahib the most holy shrine of Sikhs. What do you think happened to the feelings of the sikhs?

    Rony, Thanks for reminding about Narasimha Rao. Almost forgotten about him. But wait, as I remember the congress did not even allow his dead body to be taken to the congress headquarters because he was..... shahnawaz, I wouldn't want to see the women you mentioned on the calendar because none of them are as "Smoking Hot" as Priyanka. (Maybe Maneka in he youth days) I hope Vijay Mallya contacts Priyanka for next years calendar... What do you think?

    Dear Nagesh Nayak, If Indira Gandhi was killed by her own body guards,its bcoz they didnt understand the oath they had taken.i.e. interest of d nation is of prime importance.They let their personal feelings shadow their Call ofDuty. Abt IPKF,the decision 2 send troops was taken after discussion in the parliament(the opposition included BJP).This decison was taken by a leader of the nation & not by any political party. In both the cases, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, took responsibilty for their decisions and in the end paid with their lives.

    Responsibilty is the most imp qualty of a leader,unlike Advani who was the HM during the IC814 hijack,a few months ago claimed he didnt know anything.Do you understand how many lives in India and abroad have been lost due to the mishandling of the issue.For that reason should Vajapayee be assasinated?God forbid.Sri Vajpayee was a strong leader who took responsibility for all his actions like Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. When BJP was inpower could you hear any other name then Vajapayees.When Vajpayee retired, BJP tumbled, bcoz there is no good leader now.Good leaders like Jaswanth Singh are expelled for speaking the truth.

    It seems to me that you just cannot digest the fact that Congress HAS and IS grooming new leaders,the likes of the Gandhis and Vajpayee. And if you think Congress is abt the Gandhis alone, then u prob havent heard of ppl like Dr.MMS, Sahi Tahroor, P Chidambaram, Dr. Montek Singh Ahuliwalia, etc. JAI HO

    Dear Mr. Nagesh Nayak I quote your words " BUT LEADERS ALSO HUMAN BEING & ARE VULNERABLE TO MISTAKES." Unquote. Now you realize that leaders are human beings and vulnerable to mistakes. Do you and me to punish them for their mistakes? Shoot to kill them? It appeared in every news papers in big letters that Mr. Vajapayee suggested Indiraji to use military force and operation blue star in my opinion was not a mistake. To keep the integrity and sovereignty of the nation this was inevitable.

    The Khalistan have/had already made their own currency and circulated to the public. This was a movement and an inspired version of Pakistanis to divide India. Indiraji surely scarified her life for the nation. When our own men kill our own people why have you to show fingers that a (one) person was killed in Australia? Are you making a mountain out of a mole? Mr .L.K. Advani and V.H.P leaders have made blunders by demolishing babri masjid. Mr. Modi made biggest blunder in the history by allowing free hand for attacking Christians and Muslims. Mr. Yeddyurappa made a Guineas book of records in Karnataka by attacking Churches.

     I agree to mistakes but not blunders. Madam Sonia Gandhi also sacrificed her life for not to be in power and in fact she also sacrificed to Mrs. Sushma Swaraj for not shaving her head. Tell me frankly are you happy or not does not Indiraji assisted to have a separate nation called Bangladesh?

    Dear Mr. Nagesh Nayak, Do I mention any where quoting a person against their names without a prefix as Mr. or Dear? If you are learning wrong things from others that mean's you are also a one among them. If everybody is doing wrong things why can't I do? Is this your position? Did I write any where naming Yeddi show me? If others are writing tell them to learn to respect and do not be a similar person like others. Is it a good thing that you learn bad lessons from others? You being a fundamentalist really need to learn some good lessons.
