In a significant political development, Congress leader V D Satheesan on Monday heralded Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's entry into Wayanad, expressing optimism about her securing a record-winning margin in the forthcoming bypoll.

Speaking through a Facebook post, Satheesan, Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly, highlighted, ''Rahul and the party are designating Priyanka, who is even more popular in dearest Wayanad.''
