Will there be a bigger victory than Rahul? Priyanka replied
When asked a question on the issue of Waqf law, Priyanka said, ‘I don’t think today is the day to talk about such controversies. Today is voting day. I hope that everyone will use their democratic rights and vote. When Priyanka was asked whether she would win Wayanad by a bigger margin than her brother Rahul Gandhi, she said, ‘That remains to be seen.’ Let us tell you that Rahul had won the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by a margin of more than 3.5 lakh votes.

‘Priyanka ready to be your voice in Parliament’
Let us tell you that Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday appealed to the voters of Wayanad to support his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. He told the voters that Priyanka will be more than a representative for them, they will be their sister, daughter and a member who raises their voice. Rahul Gandhi said in a post on ‘X’, ‘I am contacting my family in Wayanad in this election. My sister Priyanka Gandhi is ready to become your voice in Parliament.
