Sources have stated that amid the clamor within a section of Congress for Priyanka Gandhi to take an active political role, senior leader Jairam Mahesh has said no individual has a magic wand to revive the party and a team effort is the only way forward.
Ramesh has told that he has always believed that the answer to the Congress' revival lies not in one individual but in a collective endeavor and when asked if Priyanka should campaign extensively in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections or 2019 Lok Sabha poll is the right time.
It is stated that no individual has a magic wand and the magic wand lies in a collective entity called the Congress party, where each of them has a responsibility to contribute to the revival and he has thought that era is over.
Ramesh has also said Congress has taken the right steps in Uttar Pradesh elections and for the party to announce a chief ministerial candidate (Sheila Dikshit) almost eight months before the poll is unusual and so he thinks they are learning from their own experience.
