New Delhi, April 27 -- Former Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi, who recently joined Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, after resigning from the Congress as the party reinstated some local leaders who misbehaved with her, has been appointed as 'Upneta' in the party.

Expressing willingness to fulfill her duties to the best of her abilities and thanking the Shiv Sena chief on Twitter for the role given to her she said, "Thank you Uddhav Thackeray ji for giving me an organisational role and responsibility, so as to contribute to the party to the best of my ability."
