Amethi: With the first phase of elections just a week away in Uttar Pradesh and the Congress party is really firing all its cylinders they've also brought in Priyanka Gandhi to charm voters in the last leg of the campaign.

The 'Gandhi Ki Aandi' is on in Uttar Pradesh and there's little doubt about who of the three tops the popularity charts – at least in Raebareli and Amethi.

Batting hard for a larger role for her brother Rahul Gandhi in national politics, Priyanka was insistent that the polls are not crucial to her brother's career.

With the hope of scoring a perfect 10 in the 10 assembly seats of Amethi and Raebareli, Priyanka seems to be winning hearts.

In meeting after meeting, speech after speech, Priyanka makes sure her brother Rahul remains the star. The Uttar Pradesh election is Rahul's big show, Priyanka says she's playing a supporting role.
