Priyanka's appointment not a sudden decision: Rahul Gandhi

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said his sister Priyanka Gandhi's appointment as the General Secretary in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh was not a sudden decision as he had been discussing it with her for years now.

"The decision was taken some years back and not just 10 days ago," Gandhi said in response to a question on her sudden appointment while speaking at a town hall style meeting here titled 'The Odisha Dialogue'.
