Mangaluru : Priyanka Gandhi taking over as the General Secretary of Indian National Congress, has given the party superpower status opined former union minister B Janardhana Poojary.

Addressing the media at Kudroli Gokarnanatha temple in Mangaluru on Thursday, he said that woman power was a great power. “This applies to the Congress too.
