After being appointed as Congress General Secretary and becoming an in-charge of forthcoming Uttar Pradesh elections, Ghulam Nabi Azad spoke in a meeting that the Congress party might go against its age old tradition and reveal the name of its U.P Chief Ministerial candidate ahead of the polls. Before the big announcement by Azad, there were speculations and major internal demands for appointing Priyanka Gandhi as party’s face in U.P. Amid the big announcements Azad declared the talks of appointing Rahul Gandhi as U.P CM candidate null and void. He said, “Rahul Gandhi is our national leader.
