New Delhi, May 22 (PTI) As the UPA-II celebrates its second anniversary, a veteran Congress leader today said it is time Priyanka Vadra gets into active politics to help the party get back to power on its own in the 2014 general elections by discarding the "crutches".
Vasant Sathe said that if the Congress' "first family" -- Sonia Gandhi, Rahul and Priyanka -- embark on a vigorous mass contact drive in the months and years to come, the party could restore the past glory of single party rule in the next Lok Sabha polls.
"I tell you with guarantee that if Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka go out all over the country, then you will see a revival of the Congress with the emergence of a vibrant organisation. There are no short cuts. It is time to throw the crutches," the 86-year-old former union minister told PTI.
