Team Narendra Modi is startled by Priyanka Vadra's sharp tongue.
All along, Modi's spin doctors had focused on her brother Rahul Gandhi and were gloating about their campaign's success.
Priyanka's sudden emergence is forcing a change in their tactics.
The strategy to counter Priyanka by drawing attention to her husband Robert Vadra's dubious business deals has not been a success.
The corruption plank has its limitations too, given Modi's eagerness to bring back B S Yeddyurappa to the BJP.
Modi's troubleshooters wonder if Priyanka will turn up in Varanasi now, where the candidate filed his nomination on Thursday.
