New Delhi. After Rahul Gandhi, Congress now seems to be planning to bring Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the second member of the Gandhi family, into the mainstream of politics. News18 channel has quoted sources as saying that Rahul Gandhi will leave Kerala’s Wayanad seat and keep Rae Bareli. Congress can now field Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from the Wayanad seat. However, when Rahul Gandhi was asked about Wayanad and Rae Bareli seats on Tuesday, he said that he has not yet decided from which seat he will be an MP.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra campaigned vigorously with Rahul Gandhi during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. She also did a road show in PM Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi along with Akhilesh Yadav’s wife Dimple Yadav. Wherever Priyanka Gandhi Vadra went, she spoke openly to the media. She also raised the issues of Congress and opposition parties in public meetings. In Amethi, she challenged Smriti Irani and got Congress’s Kishorilal Sharma to win there. In such a situation, Priyanka Gandhi has shown that she is doing a tremendous job in taking the Congress forward. Congress people have already been seeing the image of former PM Indira Gandhi in her.
Priyanka Gandhi entered politics from her mother Sonia Gandhi’s parliamentary constituency Rae Bareli. She used to go to Rae Bareli as Sonia Gandhi’s representative. Then Congress made her the general secretary and also gave her the charge of UP. While being the Congress general secretary and in-charge in UP, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra could not make any special impact, but in the recent Lok Sabha elections, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra put in a lot of effort and its effect is also being seen. Especially in UP, there is talk of Congress getting many seats due to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. In such a situation, if she gets a chance to come to the Lok Sabha from Wayanad, then Congress can get another big leader in Parliament who can speak on issues.
