Who is against Priyanka?
Let us tell you that Priyanka Gandhi is Congress general secretary. She will contest the first Lok Sabha election from Wayanad. This is the same seat that Rahul Gandhi won earlier. The BJP, on the other hand, has given a ticket to Navya Haridas against Priyanka from Wayanad. Regarding his sister’s candidacy for Wayanad, Rahul Gandhi has said that he will continue to visit Wayanad. “I have a deep emotional connection with Wayanad and Ray Bareilly. I have been serving as Wayanad MP for the past five years and I have been deeply touched by the love and support of the people here,” he said.
He also said that he had an old friendship with Rae Bareli and was happy to get an opportunity to represent the constituency again, but the decision to vacate the Wayanad seat was difficult for him.
