New Delhi, Jan. 3 -- Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was on Saturday named as chairperson of the Congress party's screening committee for Assam where assembly elections are scheduled to be held later this year.

This is the first organisational task assigned to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra after her role as All India Congress Commitee general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh. The Congress party lost UP elections in 2022 winning just two seats. Since then she has been a general secretary without specific assignment even as she became a Lok Sabha member from Wayanad in 2024.
