Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi will take part in the first road show at Sultan Bathery at 10:30 am. After this, the duo will head to Thiruvanbadi in Kozhikode for another roadshow. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi is contesting the by-election from Wayanad. Today is the last day of campaigning for the Lok Sabha by-election.
Voting will be held here on November 13. Priyanka Gandhi is contesting elections for the first time. She has already participated in the roadshows during the Congress campaign, but Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will campaign for herself in the by-election from the Wayanad seat along with Rahul Gandhi. Priyanka Gandhi is the United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate from Wayanad.
Why a by-election?
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi won both Wayanad and Rai Bareilly seats. In this situation, he resigned from the Wayanad seat. Now Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi is contesting from this seat. Satyan Mokeri of the Communist Party of India and Navya Haridas of the Bharatiya Janata Party had contested against Priyanka.
This seat is considered very safe for the Congress party. But other parties are also trying their mettle. In this context, there is a lot of interest in the by-elections here. All eyes are on whether Priyanka Gandhi can win in Wayanad and can she break Rahul Gandhi’s winning record?
Priyanka Gandhi personally conducts
Today, Rahul and Priyanka will attend a roadshow together in Kerala. Statehouse staff and the public greeted their arrival with great enthusiasm. While addressing the public, Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi will try to convert this enthusiasm into votes. Voting will be held here on November 13. In this by-election, he is personally in charge of the Wayanad seat. The Congress party has set a target of winning Priyanka Gandhi in Wayanad with a margin of over 5 lakh votes.
Rahul Gandhi, while addressing a public meeting in Wayanad in support of Priyanka Gandhi, had said that his sister will prove to be a better MP than him. In this way, Rahul is trying to create a political atmosphere for Priyanka by campaigning in Wayanad.
