LS polls to produce close finish: Priyanka Gandhi

With three of the five phases of Lok Sabha polls over, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra says the current electoral battle is going to be a "very touch-and-go" affair.  

"I think this election is very touch-and-go. Touch and go in the sense that it is going to be a close call. We just have to wait and see. It's one of those rare elections when nobody really knows or has a feel for what the results will be", said Priyanka.  

She compared the mood during the 2004 elections and the current polls and said that "during the last elections, there was the mood that BJP was going to come back to power.....I think this election, it's really difficult to say."  

Asserting that politics does not draw her, Priyanka, who had recently indicated her willingness to join active politics, said "politics does not draw me because I've been through a whole introspective process about it before..... But it's such a trap because it really allows you to think that you are more than ordinary. And then you realise that you are ordinary......"  "When people ask me about joining politics, they are asking me why I am not standing for elections or getting more involved," she added.
