Congress Reshuffles as Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Takes on Wayanad
A New Role for Priyanka Since her political debut in 2019, Congress has seen Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as a potential contender against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a successor to her mother, Sonia Gandhi, in Rae Bareli. However, in a recent turn of events, the Congress party has slated her to contest from Wayanad in Kerala.
Rahul Gandhi’s Strategic Move Rahul Gandhi, who secured the Wayanad seat in 2019 and 2024, has decided to step aside, allowing his sister to take the reins. He will continue to represent Rae Bareli, a constituency previously held by their mother.
Wayanad: A Safe Bet? Rahul’s victory in Wayanad came at a crucial time when he faced defeat in Amethi, a traditional stronghold for the Gandhi family. The decision to field Priyanka from Wayanad could be seen as leveraging the existing support base established by Rahul.
