In early 2019, soon after then Congress president Rahul Gandhi announced entry of his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra into politics, the comparison of Priyanka to her late grandmother and former prime minister of India, Indira Gandhi became apparent. Within hours after Priyanka's first road show which was organised in Lucknow, Congress supporters started giving slogans of “Indira is back”. In fact, the bus Priyanka was riding in as her first official public appearance, had posters of her against the backdrop of Indira Gandhi. 

Priyanka will turn 52 years on January 12 and thanks to the genes and her appearance Priyanka has striking resemblance to her grandmother Indira Gandhi. Priyanka's sarees, her sharp nose, the hairstyle, all remind of Indira Gandhi. "The harder we fall, the stronger we rise, this is what I learnt from Indira Gandhi", Priyanka Gandhi had once said. While Indira Gandhi was the first female prime minister of India, Priyanka Gandhi too has been vocal about women empowerment. "I too am a sister, mother, daughter and a wife, but that's not our identity. We are women, that is our identity," were Priyanka Gandhi's words.
