The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has sharply criticized the Gandhi family following Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's nomination for the Wayanad bypoll. The party described the move as a triumph of dynastic politics and a loss for meritocracy.

Addressing the media, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia accused Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of discrepancies in her poll affidavit, alleging her declared assets do not accurately reflect her family's wealth.
