HOLD TO GO WITH STORY 'INDIA CONGRESS FAMILY POLITICS' BY NIRMALA GEORGE- In this Sunday, May 4, 2014 photo, India’s Congress party Vice President Rahul Gandhi, front, and his sister Priyanka Vadra campaign in Gandhi’s home constituency of Amethi, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The charisma of four generations of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty that has steered the 128-year old Congress party has lost its shine, and the party appeared headed for its most crushing defeat ever when results from India's general elections are declared on May 16.
