In a strategic move to secure a win in the upcoming Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, alongside her brother and Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, launched her campaign on Sunday in the Kerala district. This significant event also saw the presence of key Congress figures such as General Secretary KC Venugopal and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee President K Sudhakaran.
The visit marks Priyanka Gandhi's second-phase campaigning in Wayanad, where she plans to address a pivotal public rally in Mananthavady. Her brother, Rahul Gandhi, is also actively participating in the campaign to bolster her electoral prospects in the Congress stronghold. She is set to face competition from BJP's Navya Haridas and Left candidate Sathyan Mokeri as Wayanad prepares for the bypoll on November 13.
Reaffirming her commitment to the people of Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi pledged to diligently address their issues if elected. Emphasizing her readiness to raise their concerns in Parliament, she expressed her determination to improve the lives of the constituency's residents. This bypoll follows the vacancy left by Rahul Gandhi, who was elected to Lok Sabha from Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, earlier this year.
