Priyanka Gandhi a true reflection of Indira?

She is strident, walks tall, with large steps, and is graceful. Her behaviour and demeanour is perfect and goes down well with the common man. When she speaks, it's from the heart and she comes across as sincere and honest.

Her communication and connect is effortless. It almost seems natural. She uses words that are simple yet effective. Coming from a Gandhian background, this humble quality is not expected as it’s a rare thing in the sons and daughters of political bigwigs. Some liken her to Ma Durga, the way they spoke of her grandmother, some say she is utterly engaging and warm, some find her easy to talk to and all of them simply love her.

That she is a loving mother, wife, sister and daughter adds to her charm. There is a glow of fulfilment on her face. All it takes for her to attract people is her characteristic smile, just like that of Indira Gandhi.

With genetic resemblance like her curly hairstyle, sharp nose, gait, her appearances clad in cotton sarees complete her Indira Gandhi-style look.

No wonder then that Indira Gandhi saw a reflection of herself in her granddaughter and was convinced that she had all the elements to become a great leader in the future, as was revealed by one of her close aid and veteran Congress leader ML Fotedar recently.
